    DUH.. you get more miles per gallon on 32bit then 64bit... so of course it is more efficent....

    Thank you all.
    You actually mean it is better to install the 32-bit even if this is a 64-bit processor? Why? Where can I read about that?
    32 bit runs faster because it have to only load 32bit dll files to the memory but in case of 64-bit it have to load 64 bit version of dll files also 32 bit files. that is why 32 bit is better even if your system supports 64 bit.

    Moreover sometimes it is hard to get 64 bit version of drivers because some of the companies like dell had not even released 64 bit driver of Windows 7 for some of there older models.

    This topic has several threads full of opinions here at SevenForums. Personally I recommend 64-bit if you have more than 3 gigs ram. It is faster and more reliable, IMHO.

    You have installed a 32-bit version of Windows 7. A 64-bit Windows 7 can legally be found here. As the image taken from that site here shows, you have to choose if you want to download a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.

    You have to do a clean install, a 32-bit system can not be upgraded to a 64-bit system.

    EDIT: Please remember that free downloads will only be available until August 20, 2009.
    That's not the final RTM version please note. That's build 7100 (RC).

    Did you notice the word "LEGAL" there in my post? RC build 7100 is the latest build you can obtain free completely legally. Later builds are leaks.

    I am one of those "idiots" who refuse to use any software, application or OS that is not 100% legal. For this reason I do not give tips telling where to get or how to find Windows 7 that is not officially released by Microsoft.

    I know this kind of behavior makes me seem like a nutcase in the eyes of the majority of this community, but I am not willing to change the way I think only to please others.

    @Kari

    Are you going to purchase Windows 7? If so then why would you not try the builds inbetween to watch how the product develops?

    In my mind, with the intention of purchasing windows 7, I can't see a problem with using leaked builds.
