I am pretty sure that all the dual cores are 64 bit. I haven't tried Delphi 2007 on 64 bit, I put in a virtual machine which solves all these sorts of problems. Delphi 2010 is in a win 7, 64 bit vm fwiw.

The general gist I have got is that Windows 7 is faster in some ways, and slower in some ways when comparing 32 bit Windows 7 vs 32 bit Vista. eg quite a few measurements show Windows 7 is slightly slower to boot. Once you go to 64 bit, then Windows 7 does seem about 15% faster than 64 bit Vista. Looks like Windows 7 still suffers "Windows Rot" - ie after a simulated 2 years of use the boot time gets up to about 2-3 minutes with lots of apps installed and lots of use and restarts. Important Question - How does one check if a system takes 64 bit? I currently have a 32bit Vista, but been wondering if a one year old Intel Centrino dual core does do 64 bit - it already has 4GB RAM. Thinking of upgrading - 64 bit looks like a better option if the hardware does it. And any issues installing D2007 on 64 bit?
