    That is a powerful computer. Very nice specs. Before switching to 64-bit, make sure you have all drivers, and that all your programs will work (which is not likely going to be a problem).

    Just wanted to be sure.

    If it wasn't with that glossy screen, it would be my dream machine!

    I did just what you are wanting to do but found that I couldn't find a copy of Acer Arcade Deluxe to install as the blu-ray player wouldn't play blu-ray disks with any other software. Thankfully I took a factory backup of the OS installed when I got it and just reverted back to that.

    Acer arcade is bloatware as far as im concerned, as is the acer empowering framework.
