Hi Jeff.
If you have 4GB or less of Ram in a machine, its probably best to go for
32bit. 64bit is for computers with more than 4GB of ram. If you have old
scanners and printers, generally they'll work on windows7 32bit but not
on windows7 64bit. most modern hardware that's been made in the last 5
years or so supports 64bit windows so you should be fine. As for
programs, windows7 64bit can be used with older 32bit programs, but may
not work with every single older program depending on when it was
released. 64bit isn't really faster on 4GB of ram systems you see the
difference when you've got 6GB of ram or more.
I hope that helps.
Mo.
