I am greatful for the information. Since I only have 2 gigs of ram I was considering installing the 32bit version. I just thought if I want to upgrade my memory it would already be installed. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> One question you might want to ask yourself is whether your current machine can have its memory expanded, and by how much. If 2 gigs are the maximum RAM your box can hold (or if it is not practical to upgrade, because you have to tear out the existing RAM chips and install higher-capacity ones) then you might as well stick to a 32 bit install, but otherwise, install 64 bit, because you can grow into it. It would be easier IMHO to add more RAM than to reinstall 64 bit from a 32 bit system when it came to add more RAM. </pre> </blockquote> You misunderstood I did install the 64bit version I have one stick that is 2gigs and an open slot for more memory. I just wish I had have installed the 32bit version. Which slamr(kernal) would have worked with. Thanks again; Stephen Oulton </body> </html>
