Install 64 bit, you may be able to add Ram in the future.

salman nazir,

With the specs on this new laptop you should be able to operate x64 without issues. But, if you run into high memory usage, then you should install more RAM (like suggested above.)

It`s tricky, If the board only supports 4 gigs, it will see 4 gigs but show a lower amount usable as some of it will be hardware reserved. There`s nothing you can do about that. But all the memory is used, so don`t worry. If the board supports more memory you can always add it in the future. You have to find and read the specs to see if the memory is upgradable.

If you install Windows 7 on D, yes it will wipe everything out .

It might, it might not.

64 bit is better as it addresses 64 bit memory at a time. But it depends on what your usage is.
