If i were you, i'll buy a 64 bit compatible system but unless you need a lot of processing power and memory put 32 bit win7 on it. If you don't realy need 64 bit don't get it as it has some minor buggs with some programs. If you however decide on 64 bit, make sure the pc have a lot of memory otherwise it wil be slow for no reason. I don't know what you use it for but 32 bit remains the best for a every day normal pc. -original message- Subject: re: Whether to buy a 32 bit or 64 bit new computer From: Joseph Lee <joseph.lee22590@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 26/01/2011 22:38 Hi, I'd say go ahead with your decision - 64-bit system would be fine. Besides, 64-bit processors can handle 32-bit operating system smoothly (such is my laptop). Cheers, Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Durber" <d.durber@xxxxxxxxx To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 15:30:17 -0500 Subject: Whether to buy a 32 bit or 64 bit new computer Hi everyone: Recently, my wife's 32 bit Windows XP computer packed up. Now we are in the decision process as to what computer to buy. Given that most manufacturers are not yet fully geared up for 64 bit processors, would it be a good idea to purchase a 64 bit computer but run Windows 7, 32 bit operating system in the mean-time and upgrade to Windows 7, 64 bit, in a year or so? Our current license for JAWS is for Version 9, Professional edition. The other day, we purchased the upgrade to Version 12 Professional Edition, for a total cost of $750.00 U.S, including an SMA. All comments are welcome.
