Thinking of buying this desktop. Would appreciate opinions and if possible if this setup can support a 64-bit OS. I'm a bit of a newbie but I still understand the jargon.

* AMD Athlon™ II X4 620 Quad-Core Processor (2.60 GHz, 2 MB L2 Cache)
* ATI Radeon™ HD 5670 DirectX® 11 Graphics Card with 512 MB GDDR5 dedicated memory on board and D-Sub VGA, DVI-I and HDMI connection (HDCP Support)
* 1 TB (1000 GB) hard drive for more than 200,000 songs or photos at 4 MB per track/photo
* 4 GB (4096 MB)1 DDR3 SDRAM
* Multiformat DVD/CD Burner2 supports all the usual DVD/CD standards, including dual layer DVD-R and DVD+R
* Wireless LAN3 IEEE 802.11 n-Standard with up-to 300 MBit/s4, IEEE 802.11 b/g compatible
* Network Controller Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
* IEEE1394 FireWire
* eSATA Connection for connecting external SATA devices
* 8 Channel High Definition Audio5
* PS/2 Keyboard and Optical USB Mouse

Thanks,

Jak
 
Pretty much any new system will support a 64 bit OS. I think you have to go back to the pentium 4 days before you find one that won't.

Seems like a fairly balanced rig overall, though knowing what motherboard and power supply come with it would help a ton. No point having a powerful system if the core components are going to crap out on you.
 
+1 - I'm a big fan of the cheap quad-core Athlons, but the PSU should be a decent brand - otherwise if it crashes it'll take your whole system with it; You'll need a well featured mobo if you're planning on OC'ing/upgrading :)
