Tomtom Home on 64bit Windows-Quick response needed

pete1336

I'm about to format my HDD which has 32 bit winvista on and install vista 64bit. Can anyone confirm if tomtom home works ok with 64 bit winvista?
A quick response is appreciated.
Thanks

It should work in theory, but you might want to have a look at THIS post.

Why? Vista 64-Bit isn't worth the bother unless you have a real need. Still lost of stuff that doesn't work well and lots of things that don't have 64-bit drivers.

Sorted, thanks for your replies gents, it does work.
@ Darren
As to why, simple, I'm a power PC user and 64 bit handles more than 3gb of RAM, which 32 bit vista doesn't.

Does the 64 bit version have the same option as the 32 bit to to run apps as if they are running under earlier versions of Windows (XP/2000/98)?

64-bit version of Windows, including Vista, have the Windows on Windows (WoW) 32-bit emulation. 32-bit Windows had WOW16.

So in theory 32-bit applications should work. The biggest problem is drivers which need to be 64-bit as they run in kernel mode.
