32 bit vs 64 bit

[Freerunner]

Just finished my second build and want to install Win 7. Do I install 32 bit or 64 bit? Thanks

64 bit if you have 4gb ram or more, 32 bit can only use a maximum of just over 3gb anything above that is useless on 32 bit.

Up to you. As stated above, 3GB is about the max you'll see with 32-bit. All hardware is pretty much 64-bit these days and all 32-bit software is compatible with 64-bit Windows.

OK Thanks
