My roommate acquired a desktop PC for me.
It only has 3 GB of DDR2 RAM and I want to know if I should install the 32 or 64 bit version of Windows 7. Are there any advantages of going with 32 or drawbacks of going with 64 with only 3 GB of RAM? -- Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on a Career Golden Slam. - The Mana Sword ... Copied to Clipboard!

the 64 bit OS allows you to have more RAM
for instance, you could have an amount of RAM that isn't obsolete. -- "What if you just eat vegetarians?"-neonreaper "^ You are what you eat. ^_~"-Koiji ... Copied to Clipboard!

I thought 3GB of RAM was pretty good.

Buy more ram (make sure it's the same specs as the one you have in it) and then install 64bit windows. If I recall correctly 32 bit caps you at 4gigs.

3GB of RAM on Windows 7 64-bit = the OS chews up 2/3 of that. It's still 1 GB for 32-bit. If you're adamant on Windows 7, you need 32-bit. IMO, get more RAM and 64-bit if you're going for Windows 7.
