Quick help about Windows 7

Guys, I'm buying a new computer in couple days, new Windows too
It's going to be Windows 7 Ultimate and I have a question.
Should I get 32Bit or 64Bit? Cause I know 64Bit is twice faster but my uncle says that
some programs and drivers are still not working properly on 64Bit and that there are not
many programs for it, that it's not stable etc..
When I include all stuff together I don't know what should I do cause he forces me to
buy 32Bit.
Please give me you opinion and a good advice :)

Thank you

your uncle is right there are still programs that dont work with 64 bit.... I.E. adobe flash player does not have a 64 bit player ( only in beta)

If you are looking to future programs 64bit is the way to go.

Yea, but how long will it take for new programs to be made for 64bit ?

Hi GzMoon - Welcome to w7forums

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit installed with 32-Bit applications. I am patiently waiting for the 64-Bit applications. Many people will not have any problems getting their 32-Bit applications to work on Windows 64-Bit.

64-Bit is not much if any faster than 32-Bit at the moment. Check all your scanners and printers for Win7 or Vista 64-Bit drivers. If all your hardware has 64-Bit drivers, that should answer your question for you.

I have apparently very good luck with 32 bit applications. About 99% of them work my x64 Windows 7. I have Office 2010 Beta 32 bit and it's real fast.

Run Windows 7 Upgrade adviser and see what programs you may have problems with.

The point being made here, Gzmoon, is that most principal programs are happy to run in a 64Bit Os, and you can sit and wait, where needed, for the 64Bit release to arrive. You will probably have to pay again for the 64 Bit, when that happens, so you could consider alternatives, either already in 64Bit, or in 32Bit compatible state.
64Bit is the way forward, and it is by far better to start now, when you have the opportunity.
Like Nibiru, I have, so far, not found any essential programs, which will not run in the 64Bit OS. But it would be a good idea to check your computer for driver compatibility before going further.Microsoft have a program to do this for you.
sdmnysimon's comment may be a little misleading. Flash is only implicated with your browser, not the OS. Windows 7 64Bit comes with the 64 and 32 Bit browsers. Flash runs in the latter, which is the default after installation.

Are you going to build or buy retail? If your going the retail route, check your area retail stores. They are pushing the 64 bit systems and most are not ordering any new 32 bit systems, just what they have left in stock. If you are going to build you have the option to go either way and build it to suite your needs. Which is what I recommend. Like every one else here that has responded to this post, 64 bit it the future and it's only going to get better. The big difference between the two systems is that you can install a lot more RAM into a system where as the 32 bit your limited to a maximum of 4 gigs, which the system will only use up to 3.0 to 3.5 gigs. This is because of it's built in limitations of the OS. Best of luck and let us know what route you ended up going with.

I told my uncle before even making this thread that 64Bit is just going to get better and better and that I should just sit and wait cause that is the future. Well, I have a slow computer which I bought from my own money when I Was 12 years old and now I'm 18. I live in a country where it's really pro to get Original Windows, off all my friends that I know just one has the original Windows and it's Vista Home Premium. To be honest you guys helped me a lot, and I think that will go for 64Bit
@Bassfisher6522 I have a copy of normal XP SP 2, and I'm buying a new computer with W7 64bit or 32Bit. Indeed 64Bit is the way forward.
So that is why I'm getting it in 64Bit version.
@ Devahc can you please tell me the name or link for the Microsoft program you told be about

I believe this is what he was talking about.
