| 848474 | 2010-01-13 22:14:00 | Up to you. Just as long as there's 64 bit drivers, for the printer, it should be fine | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 848475 | 2010-01-13 22:16:00 | No need to unless you want to use more than about 3.5GB of RAM | wratterus (105) | ||
| 848476 | 2010-01-13 23:20:00 | I would. 32bit is so last century now. And while you may not need 4Gb now, you will. I remember a friend being astounded I'd put 128MB in my PC....... |

| 848478 | 2010-01-13 23:59:00 | Search for the model on the HP site. Even tho this brother printer is pretty old, (well its been discontinued), win 7 x64 bit drivers came out last year. And I'm using it on this now (it used to be on XP) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 848480 | 2010-01-14 01:41:00 | Me thinks down the road 64bit would be standard. I remember when 32MB RAM was enof, anything more was considered a waste of money. |
