 Windows 7 - 32 or 64 bit? - Focusless
Following on from www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?f=6&t=1176 we've decided to splash out on a new Windows 7 Home Premium (full), but just wondering whether to go for 32 or 64 bit.

PC is just an E1400 low range dual core with 2Gb RAM on a Gigabyte 945GCM-S2L motherboard, 250Gb HD and 7900GS graphics (I can see there are 32 and 64 bit graphics drivers).

The main programs we run are SWMBO's MS Office, and son's games - eg. World of Warcraft and non-cutting edge first person shooters.

I suspect the safest option is 32 bit - any big reason(s) for going for the 64 bit version? They're the same price.
