What constraints are tehre? I'm trying to figure out why my present 32-bit Windows Seven setup sees One point Nine Seven GB of RAM, where as it does report a total of Four GB installed.Would a sixty four-bit system help with this?Beyond that being a constraint, I don't know what else is. Regards, --Keith

If I want 32-bit Windows 7, I use the 32-bit DVD; likewise for the 64-bit version. That isn't to say you couldn't install a 32-bit copy of Win7 onto a 64-bit machine, because you can. But by doing so, you have to deal with the same constraints of a 32-bit computer.
