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

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.

It depends on what you are doing. I've got sound files well over 1GB in
length. If I want to edit them it would be a much slower process with only
2GB memory

that's true but you probably wouldn't choose a legacy 32 bit OS for
handling that sort of data.

I do big graphics sometimes: that's where I run out of RAM.
