Anything which relies on 32 bit windows explorer will not run on 64 bit

am loath to give up.

That's the one and only reason I've standardised on W7 32-bit.
Fortunately 4 GB is plenty for my (not exactly modest) needs.

It's probably plenty for the vast majority of people, but the "more is
better" brigade are running the show.
I run XP on 2 gb and it's enough most of the time.

so do I because it went funny on more.. but boy I need 8GB because that
2GN is stolen irrevocably from Linux when XP is running and I have seen
the host go into major thrash when a lot of windows are open on it.

Howver I dont often use windows any more.

Only if I have some serious graphics work to do and then its my chief
task so I can shut down almost everything else beyond a web browser and
mail.

The other use fr XP is to test web sites against IE6. If it works with
IE6 it generally works with anything...
