However at that price you can still buy both cheaper than the retail version which has both disks included. With both disks you can reinstall either version any time you want of course. I went for 32 but now wish I'd gone for 64. |

| 876092 | 2010-04-13 20:53:00 | Assuming your hardware supports 64-bit (including having drivers available), I don't see a reason not to go with it. | inphinity (7274) | ||

| 876095 | 2010-04-14 13:12:00 | From various websites I've read, they recommend going 64-bit for Windows 7 if you have at least 4GB of RAM in your system and all of your PC hardware, including peripherals like the printer, is recent. 64-bit Windows 7 is more responsive if you have a lot of apps running at once. All retail packs of Windows 7 include both 32-bit and 64-bit install disks. |

| 876097 | 2010-04-14 21:43:00 | I bought OEM and it only came with the 64 bit disc. I have had no problems with 64bit everything I have works | gary67 (56) | ||
| 876098 | 2010-04-15 10:32:00 | When I installed 7 it have me the option for the x86 or x64 bit architecture, not having a 64 bit computer I just went in with the 32. judging from that i'd say I could have installed the 64 bit version but i'm not completely sure. maybe both the 32 and 64 are included in the Ultimate disk? | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 876099 | 2010-04-15 10:34:00 | If your system is 32 bit, (and doesnt support 64 bit), 64 bit wont install. You can check by pressing the windows key (if there's one on the keyboard + pause). It'll say 32 or 64 bit | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
