OK never bothered to go 64bit but have done so now on my shuttle, installing windows7

so what are the key points? when installing software am i to long for 64bit software and avoid 32bit where possible?

how does it all work?

cheers mate, dunno why i never bothered before, got my scc copy of win7 and dived straight in to 64, all running ok so far, just taking time installing and tweaking!

ok my current issue is this...

i have a shuttle with a Nforce 630a 7050pv chipset, windows seems to have the drivers, however when on the nvid site i can download the chipset drivers which don't seem to have the full set, install and still my esata port does not work, but no errors in device manger
