    Which version Windows 7 are you using?

    Do you think Win 7 32bit or 64bit is better? Why?

    A 64 bit system is theoretically speeder in processing data than a 32 bit one.
    But practically you can feel the difference if you use your PC for multimedia functions. I am using a 32 bit for your info.

    with not very specific & heavy applications, 32/64 bit seems 2 b the same.

    moreover for 64 bit more RAM is required, at least 4gb..so is costly

    Its not true that more RAM is required for 64 bit. The thing is it can support upto 128 GB of RAM whereas 32bit can only support upto 4 GB of RAM.

    There is a bit od performance difference on 64 bit compared to 32 bit, but you wont feel it until you measure the timings in miliseconds as done by testers or you use a extensive application like Photoshop or any video editor.

    what i meant is fir 64-bit minimum RAM required is 4Gb...while for 32-bit even 2 Gb ram is good to use

    Again you are wrong. There is no minimum requirement of RAM on 64 bit. I have run Windows XP 64 bit on 256 MB ram , Vista 64 on 512 MB Ram and Windows 7 64 on 1 GB RAM. And they run better than the 32 bit versions on same amount of RAM.

    quoting from somewhere:

    If you use only 2GB of RAM, and do not plan to upgrade anytime soon. To really take advantage of 64-bit Windows 7, you need minimum 4GB RAM.
    :idea:

    I second Avinash's thought. You won't need a 4 gigs RAM for 64 bit system.
    Mind that the minimum requirement of windows 7 64 bit is 2GB of RAM. For linux distros its even much smaller.
