Gentlemen,
I just received my copy of windows 7 ultimate. It has both 32 and 64 bit versions included. My processor is 64 bit but has been running spectacularly on xp 32 bit.
My system is a dual core Athlon, with 1 gb of ram. As long as I stay below 4 gb, is there any disadvantage or advantage to either one? There must be some difference, maybe even a small disadvantage to the 64 bit version in terms of speed. Help. I know that to address over 4 gb, a 64 bit data pathis required but I don't see a need for anywhere near that right now.
