F Freerunner Member Dec 13, 2010 #1 Just finished my second build and want to install Win 7. Do I install 32 bit or 64 bit? Thanks
J jamesd1981 Active Member Dec 13, 2010 #2 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.

voyagerfan99 Master of Turning Things Off and Back On Again Staff member Dec 13, 2010 #3 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.
