WTB: Windows 7 32bit

[IPD]

Have you tried running e-manage ultimate on a 64-bit?

Just saying, there are reasons as to why you would still need 32-bit.

if i was going to upgrade from the piggyback i have, it wouldn't be to another piggyback.

I managed to install Ultimate 64 with no problems. My mobo is still limited to 4gb ram but whatever, I love this OS already. The torrent I downloaded came with all updates up to September of this year with an activator, making it a genuine version. I'm going to keep the system on my 80gb SATA, which should be enough room for awhile and install all program & games on my 760gb SATA.

Thanks for the suggestions! Having a 2nd HDD made it a little easier to pay around with what would or wouldn't work.

And after the excitement has wore off I have decided to go to 32 bit. My processor only ranks a 3.2 causing the system to have EXTREMELY annoying hickups. Both IE8 and Firefox will start "Not Responding" for about 30 seconds every other time I click a link to anywhere. It takes about 3 minutes to open "My Computer" and I can't do more than a couple things at a time before it bogs down so slow I want to rip my hair out.

My processor was the very first 64 capable chip that intel offered so it doesn't surprise me that I having issues. To make matters worse, I plug in my new 760gb SATA drive only to find that it's not being recognized by the BIOS.
