Well I should be honest. My parents are divorce i am at my dads home. he just got a new dell dimension E521 it has windows vista home premium i just assumed that this was 32 bit because i didnt think a manufacture (we did not build this) would give out 64 bit. So what i Should say is that i have played quake 4 on windows vista home premium 32. thats why i had so many questions about the difference between 64 and 32 bits.
 
With a mini tower, does it effect the temperature inside? or is it not noticeable. As well does it get pretty cramped inside? Wouldn't mind upgrading the cooling system for future OC'ing.
 
Probably gonna switch cases, this an adequate power supply?
