    So...uhhh, well I'm getting the sager 2090 that comes with 64-bit OS pre-installed which will proboly have bloatware on it right? It also comes with the 32-bit cd so if I were to use the 32-bit instead of the 64-bit would using the 32-bit OS get rid of all the bloatware and such?

    That would be nice but no it won't. Bloatware comes on your computer from the mfr of the comuter, such as Dell, HP etc. To remove the bloat you have to uninstall the programs when you get it or my personal favorite, fresh install.

    I dont think Sager installs any "bloatware" but i am not too sure. I think they only install besides the OS the drivers, and DVD viewing and DVD/CD burning software. I would contact the vender(powernotebooks or xoticpc) to confirm.


    If it does, a reformat and reinstall of the OS will take care of the bloatware.
