Ok, after a break to get the family relocated back to LA I am back on the notebook hunt.
The Windows 7 Professional systems I see online come with the 32-bit version. I guess the question is: is there a real advantage to using 32bit or 64bit? I was thinking that since the processor is 64bit it would make sense to use the 64bit OS. I played with XP64 a bit and thought it ran better than the 32 bit on an AMD-4200x2 based system. Does VFP have any issues running in W7/64bit? I could always run it in a VM (one of the advantages of Professional version, although I do have VMware but would probably need to update to the latest version) I can order a notebook directly from HP with either version. Right now I'm leaning towards an HP with an i5 processor 500GB HD, 4GB RAM - after discount comes out to around $1150, or I can get the same system 'off the shelf' with Windows 7/32bit for about $100 less. Any thoughts? Complaints? Snide remarks?
