That's why I said xp for the other end.
There's not a lot of benefit going from one 32 bit os to another.
Xp is mature and stable, and works with everything.
32 bit w7
breaks some stuff too, but still has the limitations of a 32 bit os.
So, unless for some reason you have to deal with it,
your better off either doing xp or taking the 64 bit plunge.
Case in point, I could never load huge soundfonts we're talking 1.5 gigs
in size on a 32 bit os in sonar.
Well, my new i7 has 6 gigs of fast memory and yesterday for grins I
created a 1.5 gig piano with extreme sample converter and loader her
right up in 64 bit sonar.
in sfz.
If your thinking small stuff like netbooks,
w7 even 32 bit still takes more hit on your hardware than xp did,
they made it run better than that piece of junk vista hog,
but still, for small stuff, and for tried and true and good driver
support you can't beat xp.
And w7 64 bit will get better and better
64 bit is the future.

Hi Pat,
In any 32 bit os you can not address more than 4 gigs of ram.
I really didn't see the point of 32 bit windows 7, because it takes more
over-head to run vista or w7 32 bit, so you really don't gain
anything, if
your going to upgrade, 64 bit
w7 is the way to go.
Or stay with xp.
On my new nice i7 based studio machine, I have an xp drive with all my
familiar apps that work well now, and a 64 bit windows 7 to grow in to,
because there are still lots of growing pains with w7 but in a couple of
years it'll be really good.
Good luck.
