Thanks, James answered some of my questions that I just replied to Robert -- ie, I should expect 64bit Win7 to run fine on an X61s (apart from any misbehaving legacy apps). And, I gather, you can put in a pair of 4GB sticks.
If I were to get a new drive, and install 32bit Vista, I could then upgrade that to 64bit Win7? Is there some way to install the 64bit Win7 without first having to install Vista?
