[ivendete]

Hey guys.So i've been wanting to "update" my computer from x86 to x64 and im not sure if my specs can handle x64.....

here are my specs:
Processor:Intel pentium Dual core E6300 2.80 GHz
Graphics:Intel Q45/Q43 express chipset
Ram:2GB

i would like if you guys put out a pros and cons for my rig in x64 and your opinions please,and thanks.

Requirements for both are the same, except of course the processor must be 64-bit capable.

2 GB RAM is not realistically sufficient even for the 32-bit version you're running now.
You need 4 GB minimum, though of course 64-bit Windows will allow you to use as much as your motherboard supports.
