Would lower the price by about a hundred bucks. 64bit doesn't have too many issues-most programs should work, as 64bit vista comes with a 32bit emulation layer to make 32bit programs work with 64bit.....some still don't work though. And you may incur some driver issues |

| 752511 | 2009-03-01 19:39:00 | Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated:) I have taken a note of your suggestions and will start making enquirees. The 32 v 64bit issue could be the hardest thing to resolve because while power is good to have, compatibility and peace of mind are uppermost to me. |

| 752512 | 2009-03-01 22:15:00 | TBH, 64bit is becoming more and more mainstream, and most programs will work with 64 bit anyways. Less programs and drivers are having problems with 64 bit now | Blam (54) | ||
