Should I Install 64-bit Office?

The Office 2010 installation DVD includes both a 32-bit and 64-bit version; so many users that run 64-bit systems and a 64-bit version of Windows are considering installing the 64-bit version of Office 2010 as well. Should they?

The Microsoft Technology Guarantee FAQ strongly recommends that users only install the 32-bit version of Office:

“Q: Will a 64-bit version of the Office 2010 product be available?

A: Yes, 64-bit Office 2010 product upgrades will be available. However we strongly recommend most users install 32-bit version of Office 2010 on both 32 and 64-bit Operating Systems because currently many common add-ins for Office will not function in the 64-bit edition. The 64-bit installation of Microsoft Office 2010 products will be available for users who commonly use very large documents or data set and need Excel 2010 programs to access greater than 2GB of memory. There may be technical issues with the 64-bit version and in order to install a 64-bit version of Office 2010 product users must have a 64-bit supported operating system on their PC.“

A somewhat more technical discussion of this issue can be found in this recent TechNet article:

“The recommendations for which edition of Office 2010 to install are as follows:

If users in your organization depend on existing extensions to Office, such as ActiveX controls, third-party add-ins, in-house solutions built on previous versions of Office, or 32-bit versions of programs that interface directly with Office, we recommend that you install 32-bit Office 2010 (the default installation) on computers that are running both 32-bit and 64-bit supported Windows operating systems.
If some users in your organization are Excel expert users who work with Excel spreadsheets that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB), they can install the 64-bit edition of Office 2010. In addition, if you have in-house solution developers, we recommend that those developers have access to the 64-bit edition of Office 2010 so that they can test and update your in-house solutions on the 64-bit edition of Office 2010.”

So, like our friends at SlipStick say in this article:

“If you don’t ‘need’ the 64-bit, choose the 32-bit version of Office instead.”

Note: TeamScope products currently do not work with the 64-bit edition of Outlook 2010.

What about 64-bit Windows 7?

While we are discussing all things 64-bit, you might have a 64-bit system and are considering upgrading to 64-bit Windows. If so you may find this Q&A article from InfoWorld good to read since it answers the following questions:

· Can I run 32-bit Windows applications under 64-bit Windows 7?
Answer: Yes.

· Is there a performance advantage using 64-bit Windows 7?
Answer: Depends.

· Why does 64-bit Windows use more RAM than 32-bit Windows?
