 		 #183982 - I'd be interested to know, too!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
My systems are currently all XP-Pro + SP3.

I may need a new PC soon and, as you say, I'm not going to be able to get it with XP.
And it does seem that 64-bit is the preferred flavour of Win-7 at the moment.

So the question is, should I push to get 32-bit Win-7?

Is 64-bit Win-7 likely to give me loads of grief?

I don't have much (any?) real old "legacy" stuff that doesn't work on XP - so should I be fine...?
