So I recently got a new HDD and put Win7 64bit on it. My old HDD has Win7 32bit on it.
Now when I built my desktop I did not know there was a limit on how much Ram could be used. I have 12GBs installed but only 3-4GBs were being used with 32bit. Now heres my issue.. I installed Win764bit w/ 12gbs of ram and did all the updates and such but.. It is acting 400x SLOWER then 32bit w/ 4gb of ram. Now my question is what is causing this? Also.. My HDD for the 32bit is 1TB with a 32mb cache and 5900 Rpm while the other is 1TB 64mb cache and 7200 rpm. I constantly am having crashes with "Windows explorer" and just opening control panel crashes like 3-5 times before I can actually get it open. Does not do this on 32bit.
how old is the computer? sometimes older cpus struggle to do what is needed with 64bit...

Not old at all.. Built it in February.
Gonna try a Dianogstics tomorrow though. Ram should be fine though not sure whats going on.. While testing HDD 64, HDD 32 was unplugged. and still is.

To me its a perfectly fine CPU o.o Works perfectly fine for everything I need it for.
I bought the computer last yr and it was just in my price range. Couldn't afford a better one with a budget and had that one recommended by a few dozen people.
I ended up sending the HDD back. Didn't do well in diagnostic.. and performing a lot slower.

Oh, sorry, I thought you meant the last February, not two Feburarys ago.

Why such an outdated CPU?
