    Hello Everyone,

    I recently bought Farcry for my Ideapad Y730, but the thing is i don't know if it is Vista 32bit or 64bit, do you think it will run on the 64bit OS?

    System Properties will tell you whether it's 32 or 64. You need to know for updating things like drivers...

    I've seen a few sites do that, if they don't offer multiple versions (particularly if they offer 4 or less GB of RAM with the comp). I've always assumed that if they don't say, it's probably 32 bit version... but I've never confirmed this... :)

    It'll most definitely run. I have it myself. Make sure to download the latest patch for the game.

    If the specs in your signature tells me anything it is Vista 32-bit. If it was 64-bit then most likely it would have 4Gb of RAM and clearly advertised it was as mentioned above.

    I feel if its far cry 1 then it will have less chances of running but you can get a patch for 64 bit.

    Hello MSDZ,

    It is 4GB's DDR3 Memory, it was a mistake in the signature.
