    CS> Keep in mind that Windows 7 x 32 bit will not be able to use any memory   
    CS> over 3.3 GB even if more is installed.  Windows 7 x 64 bit will use all   
    CS> your memory. I don't know how well Windows 7 will run on your AMD 3800+   
      
   I reccommend migrating to Win7 64x every time because of this. Memory is   
   cheap these days and 4 gig is a good start point for most Win7 systems.   
      
    CS> Windows 7 is still my first choice over XP and Windows 8 and 8.1.   
      
   Ditto   
      
   Best, Paul
