    Hey all...

    I was planning to install windows 7 on my dell 1420 since Vista Basic appears to be really slow on the system.

    Kindly suggest whether i should go in for 32 bit or 64 bit.

    [Personally I am leaning towards 32 bit since my laptop just has 2 gb ram and finding 64 bit drivers for this system would also be a pain. Moreover I'm not convinced of any particular gain I would experience by a 64 bit install.]

    Before proceeding for the install I wanted to inquire about any issues that I should keep in mind before the installation. If there are any please do quote them.

    Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

    Regards
