The ubiquity of 64 bit Windows 7 should not be a surprise, considering that a lot of machines out there today, whether it be a laptop or desktop are coming standard with 4 GBs or more RAM which is the sweet spot for 64 bit computing. Windows Vista 64 bit smooth some of it out, but it still remained an area for the enthusiast or scientific/engineering community that needed to get as much power as possible. There were some pain points along the way with driver and software compatibility, not to mention I didn’t even have the installed memory to take advantage of it. I am not surprised, I jumped on the 64 bit bandwagon back in early 2005 when Microsoft released Windows XP Professional 圆4 Edition. Microsoft last year announced that nearly 50% of all Windows 7 installations are 64 bit out there. The same reasoning can be applied to Windows 7 32 and 64 bit. We recently looked at how to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP for compatibility reasons. I get this question a lot ‘How do I downgrade from Windows 7 64 bit to Windows 7 32 bit?’ or ‘How do I upgrade from Windows 7 64 bit to Windows 7 32 bit?’ and the reasons are valid in most cases.
