    I downloaded the 32 bit beta version and seemed to work on my computer and I am thinking of getting Windows 7. The problem is would it be better to get a 64 bit OS or stick with the 32 bit? Most of the time I use this computer for gaming. Will my games and other software and hardware that I have installed be compatible with the 64 bit OS. You can see the hardware I have installed in my systems.

    That would be illegal.

    I downloaded the beta from Microsoft months ago when they were still offering the beta and now using the R.C. 32 bit.

    Well, your system would work with 64-bit. Most likely all your programs/games would too.

    However.... you 'only' have 4GB RAM, so you'll gain a little extra usable RAM (since now with 32-bit your system can only use around 3-3.5GB), but the larger size of Windows files will use that little extra RAM.
