I have more than 10 computers that all are 64bit and Rbase 32 bit runs fine. I don't use many other programs, but some hardware will have a problem unless they have 64 bit driver updates. I use Epson receipt printers and had to get newer ones when I upgraded.

I saw a posting of someone selling a Toshiba Satellite Pro that has the power you all recommended, BUT it has a 64-bit operating system. Knowing that most of what I do is RBase, everything from DOS 2.11 to current, will I have problems with 64 bit? Is 32 bit a safer bet? Anyone found programs that don't work in 32-bit, or can you "downgrade" to 32 from 64 if you have to? She's selling an $850 laptop new for $450. Thanks a bunch! Karen
