hi guys
first of all i apologuise because i'm sure that like most forums you get nubs like me asking individual questions probably asked elsewhere - but i'm short on time atm, and dont wanna make a mistake!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
i currently have 32bit vista, which i use for all the things students do (word processing, watching video, gaming - like wow, and total war:empire ect)
i also have 4gb of ram installed, however, i currently only get the benefit of 3gb as i am on 32bit OS.
so my question is will 64bit Win 7 be good for me? and if so - can i install over the top/upgrade from the 32bit vista.
(i was looking to purchase the win7 home premium from http://www.microsoft.com/uk/education/studentoffer/ )
thanks for any help you guys can throw on the subject
