No, it's not necessary. 64-bit Intel and AMD cpus will run 32-bit mode without problems. It's your decision which one to use. General rule of thumb... - If you have 4 gigs or more of RAM, the 64-bit OS will take better advantage of it than a 32-bit OS. - If you have 3 gigs or less of RAM, stick with 32-bit. I'm running 32-bit mode on an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 and it works fine. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
