    Why not making a poll?
    To see who will install what.

    i have heard feedbacks from some users of x64 that they have some issues with utorrent, or some other bittorrent software. Has this issue been fixed yet? if not i think this alone is one of the good reasons to stick to x86, especially for those who use bittorent frequently.

    so do you all think 4gb is bare min for x64 or does it run really well with 4gb in my notebooks where anything more than 4gb is WAY to expensive im not sure which way i want to go now.. my desktops will for sure get 64 with 8+gb if ram on those
