Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit or 64bit?

[coolermaster_72]

Hey guys

So I'm assembling a gaming PC and I've decided to go with a 4GB Cosair ram, so when I install windows, should I get 64bit or 32bit?

I've heard that Win 32bit can't handle more than 3.5GB.

I might add another 4GB RAM in the near future, but not now.

I need to know whether Win 7 64bit supports ALL the games and APPs the 32bit Win 7 can handle, without any problems.

If there are issues, please let me know

Thank you

Go for 64bit.

32 bit is limit to 4gb ram and GPU memory so 64 bit makes sence.

Also get 8gb because it's so cheap and 4gb is not always enough.

Go for 64 bit. The only reason to go with 32 bit in this day and age is if you have legacy software or peripherals that don't have 64 bit drivers or won't work in a 64 bit environment. 4GB of RAM isn't always enough if you have lots of stuff running, so 64 bit will be more beneficial by allowing more than 4GB of RAM.
