hi i bought a used computer that had vista 64 bit and the previous owner upgraded to w7 32 bit. I have the discs can i , and should i.. install w7 64 bit? I have only had the computer about a month so a total wipe is ok. It has 8 gigs of ram and i don't think the 32bit is using it all. Are there any reasons i should not go to 64. And i am a noobie so any tech sites you could link for me would be awesome.

I also am planning on upgrading my gpu, does it make any difference of using 32 or 64 bit to which card i buy?

but i have to say i do like w7 :) thought xp was way better then vista, but i like 7
