    Should I install W7 32-bit or 64-bit on UMBP? I have 4GB of RAM.

    I was reading that the 64-bit has driver problems as compared to the 32-bit? Will the 64-bit be faster?

    Thanks in advance!

    64bits is more secure and more stable. As long as people keep using 32bits there won't be advancement for 64bits....so use 64bits! :)

    If Apple made available the 64bits pack, use it.

    cheers ...
