Nice post whs!
"is that it with W7"
'sargan',
Hi. As the others have stated, it's not a matter of W7, it's a matter of 32-bit.
Not meaning to open a can of worms, I will add that I (now & for a while) always recommend x64. This is not only in regard to RAM; there are other, additional vitures to 64 over 32. In the not too distance future 32-bit computing will be tailights-n-dust. 64 is the way of the future & in time we may well see 128.
Cheers,
Drew
Well, yeah, guess could be termed "a no-no"... it is just simply not possible to put 64-bit OS on 32-bit hardware.
