[...] Go 64 bit while you're at it - you will be able to use all your ram and there's pretty much no incompatible hardware/software unless you use something really old. There's no reason not to pretty much. :p
oh fair enough! wasn't sure if it could handle 64bit.. thanks :)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=16439&post=295418 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:11:05 +0200 Reply by str8outtaCompton https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-16439/page-2/?recent=296903#post=295400 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=16439&post=295400 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 15:48:27 +0200 Reply by iQue https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-16439/page-2/?recent=296903#post=295399 Quoted from dougiie
cheers for all the replies :) I reckon I will go win7, probs 32bit - ive got 4gb ram so should be fine!
Go 64 bit while you're at it - you will be able to use all your ram and there's pretty much no incompatible hardware/software unless you use something really old. There's no reason not to pretty much. :p Why you would want to still use XP is beyond me, it works sure, but on newer hardware Win7 runs just as well.

[...] +1 [...] Because it's not as bloated and full of useless crap as vista/7. It also works.
What "bloat" and "useless crap" are you referring to? Did I walk into a zone where it's still cool to like XP and talk FUD about the newer OSs?]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=16439&post=295367 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:23:11 +0200 Reply by Saadyst https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-16439/page-1/?recent=296903#post=295366 Quoted from dauk
Basically because most of programs that you're using was ment to 32 bits, and they're not that stable on 64. Also lots of problems with for ex. printer drivers and so on with 64. If you have 4 gigs of ram I would go 32.
Again, in my experience, I can't recall any significant (or even minor) problems with 64bit Vista and Win7. I don't understand your comment about stability because I don't see why they would be any less stable? Same with drivers. Some good advice in this thread has been about checking to make sure drivers are available for what you are using, for whatever you are moving to.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=16439&post=295366 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:20:30 +0200 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-16439/page-1/?recent=296903#post=295364 Quoted from Scorpion

Not sure why anyone would go 32bit if they are putting on a new OS. But then again, I'm clueless as to why people are still daft about Windows XP. Win7 64bit Dougie
