Hi there guys, i need a little help, till now i was using windows XP with Cubase 5, on my old laptop, now i have a new one with i3 processor, so i was thinking to install Windows 7...

What is the best solution? To install 64 bit or 32 bit windows?

I have a lot of old plugins, that are probably 32 bit.

64 bits = more ram for software native in 64 bits.

But many plug ins wont work on 64 bits, specially if the daw doesnt support a kind of bridge (Reaper does it excellent).

32: less ram (up to 3.25), wont support future plug ins developed only for 64 bits.

I run windows 7 64 bit pro, i still use all my 32 bit vst & vsti's (over 180), system never crashed once and never got an error, go for the 64 bit version, think ahead.
