Default 32bit or 64bit Win 7

Which is better, thinking of going Win7.

It only matters if you want more than 3gb of ram. I'd go 64bit - but I guess it's just a bit less compatible

Energy Efficient AMD Athlon™ X2 Dual-Core Processor 4450e, which states it is AMD64 (64bit), and am currently running 4Gb memory on a Vista Home Premium 32bit OS.

4GB is the limit for a 32 bit machine. XP could only address 3GB but the newer os's can address all 4gb
