    It is probably best to leave this alone, but resistance is futile.
    Restraint is admirable.
    But still futile!

    yeah, well the reason I chose 32bit is because I only have 2gb ram and 64 bit wont work with my schools wireless network.
    I'll give you the 2 GB part, as it means x64 isn't really a necessity. I'd still go with it and upgrade the memory.

    As for the wireless network comment, my resistance power is weak. Whoever told you that needs a swift kick between the butt cheeks. If you have drivers for your wireless card in Vista x64, then you should also be able to have it working in Windows 7 x64. Once you do, connecting to a wireless network is fully functional.

    only 32 bit operating systems are compatible with the software used to connect to the schools network.

    What software is needed to connect to their wireless network? Is it like a VPN connection?
