Thread Starter 
I currently have win7 32bit on it.
only little gaming.
do alot music on my computer have KX driver installed.

8GB memory, but as I have 32bit right now(only 4gb supported), max I used on
memory was 2GB.never more than 2gb usage.no encoding whatsoever.
LOL was the only game I play, might play Diablo sometimes.

any difference on performance boost if i go to 64bit?

AMD 960T none overclock yet
SSD SATA3 boot drive
GT 460 card

I would upgrade to the 64 bit version. Windows 7 will utilize as much memory as you give it, so if you have unused ram, it will cache a lot of stuff in memory. This will make your frequently run applications load faster.

You may see a performance boost with 64Bit, the only benefit will be full use of your 8GB memory. Given your system, i'd probably upgrade to 64Bit when you decide to upgrade your rig since given the tasks your doing your not using much of your system memory anyway.

Thread Starter 
the only thing i can upgrade with my current board is nothing...maybe video card.
got this setup during the microcenter sale.

there are only 2 memory slot on this board.

So if i don't need 8gb memory to run, i don't need 64bit right?

the thing is i use KX for my 10k2 sound card.
Don't know how good the driver is with 64bit. perfect under 32bit right now.
