    lol been building systems since it was possible to build your own systems.
    So 32 bit windows 7 only uses 4gb - that 4 GIGABYTES of ram.
    If that's not enough for you then there's something wrong somewhere.

    And for the record, out of memory errors usually have absolutely nothing to do with how much ram you have.
    It's down to a program not being to access a certain area of memory. Almost never has anything to do with the amount of system ram.
    I use a lot of old software, most of it won't run on 64bit windows 7.
    Plus most software used on windows 64bit is actually dumped in the x86 32 bit folder.
    Windows 7 is just happier running in 32 bit as well as almost 100% xp compatible.

    I've yet to see any difficulties getting 32 bit software, but frequently there are problems trying to install software on 64bit windows.

    Did you know that windows 10 - utter shite that it is - still comes in a 32 bit version :-)
    And with the latest w10 update, the bastards have even diasbled the proper desktop. navigating files is a real nightmare.
    Just put me in a room with gates and a nerf ball. It might take a while, but I'd somehow manage to beat him to death with sponge !
