Windows 7 Club

It launched quick but that was in scrolling around a big playlist (120ish songs). Usually the delay in responsiveness is 3-10 seconds in 32-bit. In 64-bit it was 30+ seconds. In both cases, it should be 0 seconds (like WMP11).


They do it for compatibility sake, just like IE6/7/8. IE nor WMP really benefit at all from being 64-bit but there could be unintended consequences (like Flash not working) so it's safer to just default to 32-bit.

I agree it's safer to default to 32bit, what I am saying is that it's silly not to offer the 64bit option in the Control panel or something.

All I did was modify the shortcut I use to get to it:

%ProgramFiles(x86)%
vs
%ProgramFiles%

It looks like all the file extension/default apps point to the x64 version, not x86. The only thing pointing to x86, therefore, is the links:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Media Player.lnk
C:\Users\Admin\Quick Launch\Windows Media Player.lnk

Mine defaults to 32bit for all, even double clicking wmv files.

when MS last updated that Dxgmms1.sys x86 i got no end of BSODs I hope they do a better job in SP1 otherwise i'm gonna be real pissed

Mine defaults to 32bit for all, even double clicking wmv files.

Surprisingly, mine does too even though the file associations explicitly state it should go to the 64-bit version. It makes no sense.

just use MPC-HC and all your woes go away!

well, unless you like playlists.

 

[Athlonite]

you mean MPC HC x64 don't you Mussels

 

[Mussels]

you mean MPC HC x64 don't you Mussels

you can go either one, and it doesnt run the wrong one by mistake!


i dont run the x64 as i see no benefit to it. not like it needs 4GB of ram to decode my movies.

I am using MPC-HomeCinema 1.3.2041.0 x86 on Windows 7 x64. No problem at all and does better than WMP 12. It is my primary media player for everything (DVD, mp3, HD, XViD, DivX, mkv (along with CoreAVC + Haali), wmv, etc.).

Today, I found this tweak: Increasing the File System Cache of Windows. It is classified as "Myth". Author has mentioned that real benefits can be visualized only with systems having more than 4 GB RAM (or better 8 GB RAM). Can somebody confirm it? Should we consider this to increase system speed?

Windows 7 Tip of the day "Do you have any performance issues?"

If you type WEI at Start's search box and select "Check the Windows Experience Index" . Then goto Advanced Tools (to the left of the popup screen) there you will find a section called "Performance Issues". If there are any issues just click on them to have win7 tell you how to resolve them.

0fps increase! wohoo

Ran Stone Giant demo before and post that update and same 51/52fps average both times. Well at least performance is still the same.

Anyhow EastCoasthandle, might improve something some where.

my pure and total guess, is that its just a bug fix - in some situations they found bugs that hamper performance, so this fixes them.

if things ran fine on your system beforehand, it'll run fine now too.
