dilema.. should i go for 64bit or 32bit?
Spec:
AMD Athlon 64 3200
1GB RAM
500GB HDD
The licence isn't tied like it is on XP. You should just be able to order both media.Originally Posted by sandeep2504
1 GB?
No need to go 64bit then
For future proofing or is 64bit still a pipe dream for normal everyday use?
I have no plans to upgrade my pc in the next couple years (only RAM) and i dont use my PC for gaming anymore thanks to the PS3.
Home or Pro as they are the same price.
I don't have a domain at home so don't need that functionality however I feel I should still go for pro?

Difference Between Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional & Ultimate Editions
Pro it is then.

its a shame this isnt the RRP
i think a lot more people would purchase it legally!
This is for .ac.uk addresses and not .sch.uk like most of us have it seems!
Jann,
It works for .sch.uk
"Congratulations! You are eligible to purchase from the Windows 7 Offer Store"
Super! just waiting for the page to load currently to see what it says!
I registered with my .sch.uk

Flippin' typical! Wonder if it's too late to cancel my pre-order elsewhere?
I just noticed it says upgrade, im using XP. So would require a full version
It says about doing a custom install which requires a complete reinstallation so it looks like it would do a complete fresh install anyway?
