64-bit Win 7 on 3GB Inspiron Laptop
Wife received a Dell Inspiron w/only 3GB of memory. I know that with the limited RAM, it's not necessarily advantageous to run 64-bit but I don't know if it'll have a negative effect. The 64-bit version was already installed & I don't have access to a 32-bit version.
Do you all have any tips for working optimizing this limited environment regarding:
- System stability
- System performance
The laptop will be used for web-browsing (IE9b & flash-based websites), e-mail (Thunderbird), occasionally Acrobat Reader, and MS Word for composing school assignments. DropBox is used to store files. MS System Security (correct name?) is used for anti-virus/protection and MS Live Family Safety for watching kids history/safety issues.
