There are many of us beta testing currently with Win7 64 bit, so you should be fine.

Yes. Right now the 32 bit version is being used on 64 bit Windows, but it works great. Eventually we should get a 64 bit version that will be able to use more memory and larger maps.

Enjoy!

So the 64 bit version will be able to address more than 3.2 GB of RAM?  That implies these larger worlds will be taking up 4+ GB! Wow

You do not wait after end of the turn, do not worry . But if you will have faster computer, you will be able to enjoy Elemental in its full glory and use advanced algorythm for AI which will make them play a little bit better as in GC2 and also, you computer will be able to chew more data for the AI during the turns.

What I wanted to tell you is, that AI in elemental is multithreaded. Which means, you do not actually wait at the end of the turn for the PC. PC is thinkink during your turns, and when you hit end turn button you get immediately next turn, without any waiting. If you have faster PC you will get nicer graphics, and you will be able to use (if it will be like in Galactic Civilization 2) advanced algorythm for AI, which makes them play better.

Hah! Think about the modding possibilities if you know you can release mods to a dedicated community of 64bit users! Think of how huge you can get those maps, how many models you can cram in! I was hitting the 2 gb ceiling in 2004, finally getting away from it will be amazing.
