Ah, I get it,thanks Arca I just got a Dell laptop with 4 gb ram...so that explains the 64 bit. Its a bit frustrating that some software only works with 32. Oh well, i know nothing about how that stuff works, but now I have a bit of knowledge

I did not announce that I was far superior, I was just curious what other people use for their OS. Your the one starting the c0ckoff not me. You can never have a normal discussion, because someone always has to be the smarter one and tell it all.

I strongly considered a MAC but being in school and having to run engineering programs made it less of an option. Didn't want to have to run bootcamp or parallels every time I wanted to run a Windows-only program....especially running 3 or 4 resource-intensive programs at the same time. So I got an XPS with Vista, which I have since tweaked to improve performance.
