I'm not sure which to install once I get my copy of Ultimate. Obviously x64 is going to be future proof but I've heard that 7 x64 still has issues with some things.
I need suggestions and explanations

If you have less than 4GB ram, go 32 bit. If you have 4GB or more, go 64 bit
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
x64 is great for me, been running it for over 2 months with zero problems.

So no one has any stability or especially compatibility issues with x64?

agreed, 64-bit is the way to go
Just installed 7 Professional 64bit on my machine.
8 bit tbh
x86 is bad, mmmmkaaaayyy?
just be wary of iTunes on any windows x64 system
iTunes + x64 Windows = shitstorm
iTunes + x64 Windows = shitstorm
"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
only thing about 64 bit i dont like, maybe its just me, is that whenever i install something it does't put a shortcut so i have to go in the directory and find it but not a big deal really for what you get with 64.

Love is the answer
By the way, any particular reason you want ultimate? For pretty much all home uses, Home and Pro are fine. Unless you want bitlocker for some odd reason
Previous versions of iTunes were problematic on x64 systems.haffeysucks wrote:

Current x64 version of iTunes works fine on Win7 x64.
Previous versions wouldn't install the optical drive component (Bonjour, was it?), couldn't burn discs, and had stability issues.
To paraphrase Monty Python, "It got bettah!"
Win7 x64 seems to run 32 bit applications just fine.
If your system can handle it, I see no reason not to get Win7 x64.

If your processor can handle 64bit systems, then get it.
I've been running Win7 64 for abooooout 7 months now, and havnt had a hitch.
(except my HD fried [unrelated to win] and i had to format)

I haven't had a problem so far.
I'm holding the full version that I got from Newegg in my hands already, lol. I appreciate the help though.[TUF]Catbox wrote:

Still debating on which one to install. I REALLY don't want any unnecessary incompatibilities just so I can use an extra 700-something of RAM
You can always install the other version later. You really shouldnt have any real problems except for maybe REALLY old stuff
Yeah most stuff should work. Obviously if it has a 16 bit installer it won't work on any 64 bit OS. The only software I have ever had problems with on Vista 64 are ones that have an OS check prior to install. I'm 100% sure the couple I have run into would run fine it's just since Vista isn't on the list of supported os's (as it wasn't even thought of when written) it won't even run the installer.Wallpaper wrote:
