The chip is a 64bit (or it says it has 64bit support, which I guess is
the same thing), it looks like you can install it in either 32 or 64
mode. There is only $10 difference between ult and pro, looks like
something called "bit lock" is the difference in feature set. Still
pretty spendy though for either.

I have a new work computer, has 7 Enterprise 64 bit, and it's quite
nice, but I think the Enterprise version is only offered to corporate
clients? Colleague (contractor) buys his own, just upgraded to Ultimate
64 bit. Finding drivers is a problem for 64 bit, and also if you have a
copy of Office that is 32 bit it won't work on the 64 bit. I think
you're probably running a 32 bit machine, so that may be an easy choice.
I would avoid the 'home' version and get at least mid-grade or higher.

Subject: [MBZ] OT Computer stuff - new Windows 7?
OK I have a whole new computer setup ready to go (AMD ADX635WFGMBOX
Athlon II X4 635 2.9GHz 2MB Cache AM3 Quad-Core Processor , 4GB mem). I
can boot it up on Ubuntu no problem. I would like to set it up to run
Windows, I guess the newest version is Windows 7. It seems to come in
various flavors, upgrades, OEM, etc. but exactly what they offer is
somewhat obscure even after reading about them. I guess the pro or
ultimate versions would be the one to get as it has XP emulation and I
could put lots of my other programs on that box while keeping my XP box
up too (which I had to get a new mobo for as the other one got fried in
a lightning storm) -- I tried to put the other new board/processor in
the XP box but couldn't get it to boot properly with XP, wouldn't read
the CD, etc. so just got a $50 replacement mobo and it is happy now. I
will set up a dual boot on the new machine, and run a virtual linux on
it too.
I guess it makes some sense to go with the new winders -- which version
would be recommended?
