Hey warriors,

So i'm not a techie guy or anything like that but my friend is building me a PC from scratch and today I went to pick up the operating system. I chose windows 7 instead of 8 because I don't want to deal with the bugs and can upgrade at anytime...

So I get to the store and pick up the OEM version and the guy says no refunds so I'm like okay that makes sense and then head home. I get in touch with my buddy later and head over to his place and he starts freaking out because I got 32-bit instead of 64-bit...

This is news to me. I had no clue there was a difference but he told me that 32 bit can only use 4gb of ram and I have 8gb...

Basically I'm wondering does anyone have any suggestions for me? I don't want to go out and spend another $150 on an operating system unless I have to. What are the limitations to using the 32 bit copy?

Should I go out and buy the 64-bit copy?

I'd appreciate some advice here. :confused: :confused:

Cheers

Hey buddy, I would highly suggest either returning 4gigs of the ram if your not planning on being a gamer or something. OR just reselling the 32 bit and getting a 64 bit. If what he said is true.

For future reference, this topic is an "Off-topic" post. This is the internet marketing section of the Warrior Forum.

Hey Jacob,

thanks for the response man... I don't know why I didn't put it in the off-topic forum. Just looking for a quick answer. I can't return 4gb of ram though because I purchased off NewEgg...

No problem man! I would highly suggest 64 bit. 8 Gig of ram can make a difference with everything, not only gaming, and you'll be able to simply upgrade things easier with a better operating system. I hope the link above helps you out.

I personally have never used 32 bit. Only heard particular things. I run a 2012 Macbook Retina, dual booted with W7 64 bit, and Mountain Lion. Dual booted solely for the reason of individual programs like Micro Niche Finder!

Ya I took a look at the differences and I definitely need 64 bit...

I might have to go make a scene in the store tomorrow about why they would even sell me 32 bit haha
