| 1127463 | 2010-08-13 23:32:00 | I am running 64 bit windows 7. I have no programs that require 64 bit. Would I lose anything by switching to 32 bit? Will programs run any better or worse in 32 bit? I am getting fed up with running IE in 64 and 32 bit. Every time I need Flash Player I have to shut 64 and open 32. Jack |

| 1127465 | 2010-08-13 23:35:00 | Dont use IE 64 bit then. Thats why Win7 has IE 32 bit . Only thing if you go back to 32 bit, you wont be able to use the 12 GB of ram. Or whatever you've got | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1127468 | 2010-08-13 23:47:00 | Yep that's the one. Would be a criminal waste to put 32 bit on your PC. :thumbs: |

| 1127469 | 2010-08-13 23:55:00 | As others have said. Just don't use the 64 bit version of IE8. Everything else should be fine under a 64 bit O/S. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1127470 | 2010-08-14 01:03:00 | FF all the way | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1127471 | 2010-08-14 04:32:00 | Oh! I never thought of that. Only 4 gigs of ram? Guess that rules out 32 bit then. Actually only 3.5ish. |
