I second that. Last year installed Win7 64bit and never thought of
going back. Drivers, for the most part, are no longer a problem. I
even got an update driver from M-Audio (that's why it snowed in Maine
this weekend....)

Go for 64bit and use all memory.....no reason not to.

Subject: [H] Win7 Ent 32-bit vs 64-bit?
Hey guys, we have a site volume license for Windows-I might not be being
precise about this as I'm not sure, but I work at Citrix Systems, Inc. and
we're
a pretty close Microsoft partner and so get licenses for a lot of MS
software
so I think that's what it is (in case it matters). For example, I have to
authenticate to the KMS server using slmgr.vbs from my laptop, and have
been having issues reaching it and just got it figured out recently!
Anyway, I want to install Win7 Enterprise (that's what we get; basically
Ultimate minus the games right?) on my somewhat new laptop and was
wondering whether I wanted the 32bit or 64-bit version... I know you get
the
full support of the 4GB of RAM on the 64-bit version (well, that you can
actually address/use over 3GB) and btw I only have 4GB on this laptop...
But are there any other reasons to go 64-bit? Or are there reasons not to
go
64-bit still, like app/program compatability/issues? I'm not going to be
playing many games on it (though I might install one or two simpler ones
for
travel), but that's not a main concern for me...
Thanks for any input!
