64bit

[Dinesh]

Hi, i installed build 7600 today and everything went smooth. I have nothing else installed on it except windows update. Its the 1st time i m using 64 bit so i have some questions.

1: Will i need all 64 bit apps like browser, AV, utilities to install with this or i can also use 32 bit apps?

2: I have 2GB RAM. win7 build 7100 32bit worked awesome for me. Do i need more memory as i m switching to 64 bit?

3. Any significant advantage over 32 bit except the 4GB memory thing?

Thanks,

Dinesh.

You won't regret the switch to x64

You'll have to download the x64 drivers. Here's a site for looking at x64 programs.
