Windows 7 will run with 1 Gib of ram but will be a bit slow because it will have to use access it's page file on the hard disk more and more depending on what programs you are using and how many running at the same time.
For most users 4 Gib is plenty. Regards Ian. Hi hill The whole point of a bit system is that its able to recognize and use more than 4 GB of RAM and its more secure and reliable than the bit counterparts. If you are just going to stick with 2 GB of RAM then there is little point in upgrading to the bit version of Windows 7.

I ended up selling the extra 8 Gib server ram, then I realized 7 home premium doesn't use a second processor either so I've upgraded to ultimate which does. I don't know for sure why it did not recognize even after a complete re-install, I checked out online and remember hearing that other people had problems with this so gave up!

Thanks for the reply, I'd had a couple of drinks that night and windows 7 32 bit vs 64 bit ram usage free download have explained it could have been something to do with fully buffered ram as opposed to un buffered.
