Should you even have to ask this?

You have 32bit. I don't think home was ever released in 64 bit.

I'm not sure if you're correct, as I understand each 32bit program is allocated a maximum of 2GB of memory. That's only in windows vista though, maybe you were being non-OS specific?

A 32it program can only use 2gb of RAM inside a 32bit system but can utilize 4gb in a 64bit system. A 64bit program can utilize however much RAM you have 8-12-32gb IN A 64 BIT OS. It all depends on what you do but like I said, this day and age there is no reason not to. Also 64bit apps in a 64bit OS will be faster. 32bit cinebench can get me 17,000 points but 64bit will give me almost 21,000 points. |
I'm using x64 XP Pro and like the stability so far. The only thing I hate is having to find soft and drivers for 64bit. Other tan that its a nice and fast os. If I'm corrent 64bit os can utilize/support up to 2tb of RAM if any mobo could support it

An application has to be LARGE ADRESS AWARE. Not every program is BUT if it actually needs more than 1gb of ram to run on a regular basis, most likely it is already.

Just torrent it.. i'm pretty sure its legal..
If they are still handing out keys then I don't see why torrenting it would be illegal, I think they are just trying to lower bandwidth on their end or something.
The way I see it, Windows 7 beta is free atm and expires in april, so I really don't see the problem.

Much much more than that. If I remember right, XP Pro 64 can use over 100gb RAM.
