Download and run the W7 Upgrade Advisor. It will tell you if your system can run the 64 bit version.

I have a similar system and would personally go with the x64 version, but as said above the upgrade advisor could be a good option

Your PC may or may not be able to support 64-bit Windows, but in day to day operation, it's unlikely you would notice the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit.

If your PC is acting poorly, it's most likely for some other reason.

Your CPU supports 64 bit instructions, so it could run Windows 7 X64.

Intel® Celeron® Processor E3400 (1M Cache, 2.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB))

There may be little point for you to install X64, though. The main reasons for doing that is to support more than 4GB of RAM, and to run 64 bit software. If your system wasn't running OK under Win 7 X86, there was probably some sort of problem that's not intrinsic to Windows 7.

Agreed. Upgrading to 64-bit may fix things, but primarily because you're doing a clean install.

hi again, thanks all for help...i checked and my system does support windows 7 64 bit, and when i said that my CPU runs like single core i didnt mean that i have problems or something..just my gessing, maybe it runs like it should...but i had dual core on my laptop (1.8 GHz dual core) and it seemed to me like it was faster than this 2.6 GHz dual..maybe im wrong, i am going to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and i will see what it will happen..if someone has any suggestions or other info on which windows is better just post..i will leave this thread open for a few more days to see what will u say and then i will decide..

The call is yours.

Most of the people answering your questions use the Ultimate version, but this does not mean that you need the Ultimate version.
