Well, the title pretty much explains it. After looking at my system specs, do you think that I would benefit from 64 bit? I only have 2 gigs of RAM, btw.
And, if so, how could I do it? Is there some way to upgrade from 32 to 64 bit? Thanks.

64-bit is better even if you have 2GB of ram IMHO.
Will you benefit? Most people see 150ish more points in 3dmark06.... I would upgrade.. not sure if microsoft still offers exchanges from 32bit to 64bit.

You have to reformat - its a whole new operating system
And I dont think you can fully take advantage of 64 bit... only slight improvements in some apps here and there you should get a better system before buying Vista64

Well, I'm looking at the upgrade page, and it would only cost me 9.99 for them to send me an upgrade disc for vista home premium 64 bit. So, give me a yes or no. I'm plannig on getting 2 more gigs of RAM today, too. If you answer no, please tell me what I need to upgrade.
Oh, and any notable compatibility problems with 64bit?
