The 4gb lowdown:
Why You Should Go 64-Bit With Windows 7



You might've skipped the Vista train, thinking it was like Under Siege 2, minus Steve Seagal. Or not.
Either way, you're probably gonna jump onboard Windows 7. When you do, it's time to go 64-bit.

Who Should Go 64-bit?
58diggsdigg
Basically, anyone geeky enough to read this. If you have an Intel Core 2 Duo or newer processor, you've got a 64-bit CPU,
and you should install the 64-bit version of Windows 7 to play with. (Here's how. You've got like 5 days left, BTW.)
Microsoft itself is pimping 64-bit over 32-bit now and notebook makers have already started pushing 64-bit Windows Vista over 32-bit.
Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard will be 64-bit down to its kernel, so you won't be alone by any means. 64-bit is going mainstream.

Why Should I?
We explained what's so awesome about 64-bit in detail a couple months ago, but to recap in a single word: Memory.
With 32-bit Windows, you're stuck at 4GB of RAM, and even then, you're only using about 3.3GB of it, give or take.
With 64-bit, 4GB of RAM is the new minimum standard, and with 4GB, you can run tons of applications with zero slowdown.
Windows 7 (and Vista for that matter) runs so beautifully with 4GB of RAM you'll wonder how you ever did with less.
It makes your system more futureproof too, so you can take your system to 8GB, 32GB or even a terabyte, before too long.

Who Shouldn't Go 64-Bit?
If you're not planning on going to 4GB of RAM anytime soon, you might wanna hold back, since you need 4GB of RAM
to take full advantage of 64-bit's memory management.
That said, RAM is so disgustingly cheap right now, and has such an intense bang-to-buck ratio, you should definitely upgrade to 4GB
if you haven't already. Anyone who runs specialized or older gear (see below) should probably not jump into 64-bit.

My first computer in 1991 had a whopping 4 meg HARD DRIVE, 256k RAM.

The one that died was a Vista home premium 64 bit, the new one is a Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit should be able to use 16 Gigs of DDR3 Ram. All is good so far, except getting rid of all of the HP trash!

My first computer in 1991 had a whopping 4 meg HARD DRIVE, 256k RAM.

Mine was in 1989 or was it 1990? It came WITH 1 mb OF RAM AND A 500 MB HD!! I UPDATED IT TO 4 MB OF RAM FOR $50 A MB!!!! The cost was $1,850 NOT CHEAP then.

I usually start fresh, and go back to the factory image since it doesn't include the HP crud.

A friend of ours told me that the ability of Win7 to use ram like a flash drive made apps run like the wind. I always liked the performance of AMD.
Does that ship with a hidden backup partition you can access at boot?

 

[nnuut]

It's new but I just installed another HD to hold a whole group of music, videos and graphics, that makes C: 1 Terabyte and F: 682 Gigabytes, I think I have enough room!! It's still running swift!

 

[Afishegg]

I've seen these high end gaming rigs with like 24mb gddr3 ram and like 2 or 3 $1k graphics cards in sli. Still even to me 8 gb of ram is a monster. MOMMY!... I want one too!!!

I have an HP running win7 and I added a 1T to my machine also. It runs a weekly backup of my system.

Good Idea I might do that, thanks.

Commentary: History suggests rally will continue for at least a few more days


By Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch


ANNANDALE, Va. (MarketWatch) -- It would appear that the stock market has built up enough momentum to keep the rally going for a while longer.

By rising for six straight sessions, in fact, the market possesses significantly above-average prospects of continuing to perform well over the next couple of weeks.
That at least is the conclusion I drew after analyzing all past instances in which the Dow was able to rise for six days in a row.
It turns out that, since the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/comstock/10w!i:dji/delayed (DJIA 10,363, +146.75, +1.44%) was created in the late 1800s, there have been more than 600 instances in which the Dow's wining streak lasted at least six days. That's more than a big enough sample to support some interesting statistical tests. [more]
