    That's good to know, Barman but for a first test I didn't want to make it harder then absolutely necessary. I was kind of "freaked" by all the messages I used to read about the lack of proper 64-Bit drivers (not that I have exotic hardware). But seeing how some games already don't run as expected I think I made the right decision.
    IMHO with 2GB there is no real gain in using a 64Bit version.
    Or am I too far off with my opinion?

    Driver issues are basically non-existent with non-legacy components.

    Thank you for the confirmation Lordbob!...but I didn't know that then. Still..is there any gain over the 32 Bit version with 2GB RAM ?

    Yes, but with 2Gbs it won't be huge.

    I would not recommend an upgrade until at 3Gbs, but there is really no reason to NOT get x64 with a new comp anymore.

    I don't think there's any good reason not to install a 64 bit OS on a system that can run it... even if it only has 2GB RAM. I've noticed starting new processes while already running multiple heavy cpu-intensive processes e.g. opening up a webpage with windows update already running on new install while adding a 200GB music folder to WMP ..is less likely to freeze 64 bit windows 7 than in the exact same hardware running 32 bit windows 7. The reason.. a 64 bit OS is better able to fully utilize a multi-core system
