roban, I'm glad that your install went smooth for you. You're right, we do hear about many problems. I'm sure you will enjoy 64 bit Windows 7. One big advantage is that you can have several open programs and not crash, as frequently happens with 32 bit installs. Even with 2GB RAM, 32 bit OS's will crash. This desktop has never crashed on me, even when I had only 2GB RAM installed. My 32 bit laptop w/2GB crashed twice today. I had four open programs, and decided to erase some rewritable DVD's, the second one crashed it. So I started over, it crashed after trying to erase the first disc. I love to see how far I can push it. Perhaps it will crash permanently by October, it's still under warranty until then. That would be a success for me. Best wishes on your install, roban, you're now a member of the rapidly growing 64 bit family.
