x64 is for 64 bit processors and wont work on 32 bit processors

x86 is for 32 bit processors but will work on a 64 bit processor as well

kinda your choice but 64 is probably the better choice (although a few things dont work on x64 xp i dont know if the support for x64 w7 is better or not!)
Is there anything bad with 64bit win7? Looking to upgrade soon and can't be bothered configuring any shit :{

@OP if you're using x64 you'd have full potential with your RAM then!

Small tweak allows full RAM access as well on win7 32bit
Parent
ok thxs, what do you advice. home,professional or ultimate?
Parent
home

check @ system you will see either 32 or 64 bits so take that one
Parent
doesnt realllly matter tbh but professional is my choice with the older os's :]
Parent
whatever fits your budget is what i would say.

Its like this. The other versions then home premium have extra features. Things like the whole windows media center (video foto music center etc) But also things like XPmodus and data encryption stuff like that. As you can see in the links above.

Now you only have to ask youself do i need all these features ? and do i wanna pay more for features im probably not gonna use (if your gonna buy win7 that is)

Otherwise try to find an OEM version of win7 and your all done couse it wont mather

Parent
People still pay for OS? :D
Parent
They dont know about free software and free code:(
Parent
All software should be free :)
Parent
of course it should
Parent
Even tho I have ultimate, home will do just fine.
Parent
64bit Professional will do it for you
take x64 if u take x68 only 3 gb ram will be used
you need the version for belgians
Can anyone pls tell me the differences between "retail" & "pre-activated" & "activated" on here http://www.warez-bb.org/viewtopic.php?t=3673982&start=0 ??

Parent

(oh looks like you allready have your pc)
You go i7 and dont no what windows to use :D and nice bottleneck on your graphics card meight!

Parent
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Parent
zijde gij zo nen ubernerd da lacht omdak ni veel snap van pc hardware gelijk u, of emme kik echt een mop verteld?
Parent
you're so indescribable retarded :=D
Parent
you should buy better graphic card :p
Parent
ah I see, yeah a typo, I actually have a 5850 :p I know what bottleneck is, just didn't get what he was saying cause a 5850 is fucking awesome :p my fault!
Parent
you silly panda! 5850 isnt overclockable fully until you flash the firmware anyway! I haven't been bothered to do it yet.

But get overclocking your i7, did you buy a decent cooler?
Parent
yeah I got scythe mugen II but I really have 0 experience in overclocking so I'm scared to do it :p
Parent
he means you should have spent 4x times less and you wouldnt feel any difference, because you bought a pc that wont use more than 60% of its performance
Parent
:d same pc
x64 ultimate
Depends what you do with it. If you dont rly know, install 64bit ultimate, since it has all the features & runs both 32 bit and 64 bit applications.
