| 1118336 | 2010-07-13 10:54:00 | Maybe the CPU doesn't support 64 bit? why would you bother loading a cpu that dosent support 64bit with 7. |

| 1118337 | 2010-07-13 11:04:00 | Because you've got an old PC and cant afford one that supports 64 bit? And the CPU you've got is 32 bit only? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1118338 | 2010-07-13 11:05:00 | why would you bother loading a cpu that dosent support 64bit with 7. loading a cpu???? older pc's with certain cpu's don't support 64bit OS, others do. most people aren't on the lookout for computers that have cpu's with support for a 64bit OS. |

| 1118340 | 2010-07-13 11:13:00 | I know MOST do, BUT that depends on how old it is. Even if the CPU supports 64 bit, it doesnt mean you can afford to buy a 64 bit OS to use it (unless its Linux) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1118341 | 2010-07-13 11:16:00 | I would think that anyone who tried to install the 64 bit version on a 32 bit CPU would find Win 7 would simply not install. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||

Conversly IF you can get ALL the drivers older OP SYStems run much faster on new gear.:D |

| 1118343 | 2010-07-13 22:52:00 | I was asking if the license was linked to architecture. I know what hardware I'm running on, it supports it fine. |
