downloading firestorm

[lcallawaylhs]

I was told to use the firestorm viewer. when I went to download it there were 3 options.  I use a DELL laptop but am not sure which of the 3 I should use.

You'll need to determine if you're running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows. Here's a page that describes how to do that...

If you're running a 32-bit version, you'll want the "For SL & Opensim 32bit" installation on the Firestorm Windows page. If you're running a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll want the "For SL & Opensim 64bit" version.

Good luck!

ETA: If your computer has 3Gigs of RAM or less, the 64-bit version of Firestorm won't bring the benefit of very large memory capability, but 64-bit it is the way things are going.

The 32 bit version for Windows will work fine on with either the 32 bit or 64 bit versions of Windows!

Unless you plan to use some of the OpenSim grids like OSGrid or InWorldz, you don't need to download the "OpenSim" version.

Dependence at your system.
