I’ve been running it with 4GB though (the only other RAM I had was a slower speed, which I tried for a while, but it didn’t help much), and it works great.

I’d recommend 64-bit Windows 7 with any modern hardware, no matter how much RAM you have (though 4GB is pretty standard these days).

I thought software was suppost to get better (not worse), so technical requirements should be coming down?

One thing about 64-bit, there are still many programs out there that don’t support it. I’ve run into that several times.

Best and thanks for the info.
