Message: [QUOTE="steve, post: 13344737"] Hi there, I will be building a new Intel i7 "super computer" soon, with 6GB RAM maybe (see below). Up to now I have 2 desktop machines and one laptop with Windows XP Pro and 2 laptops with Windows Vista Home Premium ! I personally don't have any problem with Vista at all but in my new build I am looking at either putting on Windows XP Pro/Vista Ultimate 32-bit or 64-bit.. but which one to go for ? Basically what I need to know is is there any problems with using a 64-bit OS ? ...... Mainly I am wondering will all my "usual" programs like Eudora (email), Agent (Newsgroup), Nero, Microsoft Money etc (all work OK on 32-bit of course) run on it ? Or will it be more trouble (and money - because of having to re-purchase 64-bit programs) than it is worth ? And in that case should I just settle for 3GB RAM, or buy the 6GB anyway on case of future upgrades ? Any help/advice would be greately appreciated ! Thanks in advance, Steve [/QUOTE]
