Re: Windows 7 64bit Compatibility For ALL Tools ??
Would all depend on the software your using. Consider that 32-bit and 64-bit have a difference in processing types either than just graphics. If all the software is compatible to run off of 64-bit processing, then go for it. If not, then you'd be trying to look for a good experiment at the bottom of something that has no potential for it. And also consider the capabilities of the laptop. I know that those things have Intel Atom processors that do 64-bit processing, but also consider that it does take up more RAM power. For 64-bit, I always recommend 2GB for good performance because 1GB is going to fill up straight away and leave you with 25-30%resources for whatever you want to do. How do I know?: I'm a computer technician.
