| 1165923 | 2010-12-31 05:06:00 | Trying to future-proof here. Can I run a 64bit version of win7 on 2gb of ram so that when I get 6 or 8gb of RAM I don't have to update windows? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1165924 | 2010-12-31 05:10:00 | Win 7 64 bit Pro runs fine here on 2 Gigs. AMD 4400+ X2 processor. Crap Video card. Flight Sim 2004 runs OK but I don't game much otherwise. |

| 1165926 | 2010-12-31 05:53:00 | I ran 64-bit Windows 7 on 2GB of RAM for a day or two, then immediately upgraded to 4GB. Short answer: yes you can, but it may not perform as well as it could. |

If you don't install the 64 bit Win 7 in the first place then when you get 6 - 8 gigs of RAM it will not be noticed much will it? I can't see any reason not to go 64 bit unless you have driver issues with other hardware you might want to use. |

Bah, you won't notice any difference... Drivers are there for pretty much everything already... There's no reason NOT to move. |

I ran the 64bit RC for ages with no problem before I installed my work copy of win7-32 because I couldn't be bothered downloading the 64bit version. |

| 1165931 | 2010-12-31 09:59:00 | It performs perfectly well with a dual core duo and cheap video card, no lag in anything I do. Would like to put more but no money | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1165932 | 2010-12-31 11:44:00 | Multi tasking for me means being able to read a newspaper while taking a dump. :) But seriously I would not consider using a 32 bit O/S on 64 bit capable hardware anymore unless as a VM. |
