Topic: Vista 32-bit and 64 -bit
Forgive the intrusion, but.....
as mentioned, unless you are doing either graphics intensive or cpu [central processing unit --is it intel or amd?] intensive (mathematical/scientific computations, you compile your own programs, or are [as mentioned] a raging gamer) you won't really notice the speed differences between 32 bit and 64 bit architectures.
The only reason to 'need' a 64 bit OS is using some programs/data base systems that require HUGE amounts of memory.

Topic: Advice for the Newbies - part 2
Hello, smiles and greetings to everyone. I joined this site a few weeks ago, and finally got around to being on it. I'm looking forward to this experience. I was too anxious (?) to read all 46 pages, so I cheated and skipped the middle 38.

@ Kojak.... you give good advice, mirrors my attitude of "everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect"
