Ok today i got windows 7 and i'm just wondering what version to put on my machine.

I already have vista 32bit but was wondering should i install the 64bit what are the differences.

Thanks in advance.

Look at many of the other threads that ask the same question.

Some information about your machine would be useful

Install Snowpenguin, it's by far the best.

64 bit because you have nothing to lose.

In future please search, this question has been asked countless times:

Is there a reason not to go for 64bit win7?
will win7 32bit be much different to 64bit
64 bit or 32 bit Win 7 - advice please
32 or 64 bit
6GB of RAM; 32 or 64-bit windows7 ?
W7 - 32 or 64 bit ??
32bit vs 64bit

That took me two minutes

. The general rule is if you're CPU is 64Bit and you have 2Gb+ of ram go for 64Bit.

I'd say there be no noticeable difference between the two on your system

But buying a 64bit retail box would be a good investment for the future (2 years anyway).
