32 bit or 64 bit
Hi,
I am a new member so please excuse me for any noob questions!
I have been wanting a new pc for a while (i'm using a dell inspiron 1300 with xp at the moment), but have been holding out for windows 7, and finally took the plunge a couple of days ago. I've read quite a lot about 32bit and 64bit but i'm still undecided! I'm leaning very much towards 64, and just want a bit of advice.
here are the specs of my new machine:
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS4 motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
2GB RAM
1TB harddrive
1GB Raedon 4650
my only concern is the 2GB of RAM but i guess that i can easily add more.
When adding more Ram do i need to match it all up? e.g. it currently has 2x 1GB sticks, so is it best to get 2 more 1GB at the same speed, or does it not really matter that much?
I will probably play the odd game, but i'm by no means a hardcore gamer - a bit of a hard-core multitasker though!
Thanks
