Windows 7: Windows 7 ultimate 64

Hi new guys new 2 the forum just got a couple of questions if any can help me out, I've got an acer aspire 6935g and wanted to know if it could take winows 7 64
The spec is
Processor: intel core duo 2.00ghz
Ram: 4gb ddr3
Graphics: nvidia 9600m gt
Hdd 320gb

The other thing is it's only using 3gb ram.
If any can help it would be much appreciated

Hi Kev451982

I think you would run it fine but you can always check here - Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - Download - Microsoft Windows

What operating system does it have on at the moment? Vista?

You need to check if the processor can take 64bit if you are only running 32bit at the moment.

After that there is another issue I see popping up from time to time and that is people trying to get things working like sound and wireless network cards. As the drivers for all of these are on the original cd that came with the laptop (if you even got one?)

You need to check if you can get windows 7 drivers for these things before you do it otherwise you might run into issues.

I think that's all that springs to mind at the moment.

You should have no problems whatsoever.

im currently running vista home premium at the moment ive found all driver's on the acer website, do u have any idea about why its only using 3gb ram when ive got 4gb installed?

Is it 32bit or 64bit Vista?

I just checked your system spec,

Although Microsoft say 32-bit versions of Windows Vista support 4GB of RAM they actually support 4GB of *address space*, not RAM.

The useable amount for 32bit is around 3.2-3.4gb but windows will see it as 3.

You need a 64bit operating system to run more than that.

7 premium 64bit will allow you to use 16gb and Ultimate will allow upto 96gb iirc.

Acer seems to have a full complement of Windows 7 drivers for that notebook, so you're good.
