Worst case is you try it and cant use a few programs.

~Lordbob +1 and on the odd occasion you find one that doesn't work, thats what XP Mode is for Yeah, though even then if you find a program that ISN'T x64 compatible, it might be time to find a new program.

It was poorly coded and included a 16-bit printing sub-system. 16-bit does not run on 64-bit (CPU issue). Most of the time games, the hardcore ones, I stumble upon many people who use 64-bit people which encounter many errors or problems.
Still, if I had to upgrade to 64-bit, I would need to get a new CD, also re-installation of all of my programs... I cannot count how many times I have re-installed.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom
