hii, im going to format my windows 7 ultimate 32 bit OS,
i messed up alot of things :p, thus it needs a format !
when i check the properties of my system , it shows
INSTALLED MEMORY - 4.00gb
usable memory - 3.25gb
i read somewhere that 32 bit OS recognizes only upto 3.25 gb of ram.
is this so ?
will the 64 bit win 7 use the whole 4gb ?
sole purpose is gaming

Right off the assembly line
According to me You should be using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit becoz it will

ultilize your 4gb ram n 32 bit windows recognises 3.25 Gb n if you upgrade your

ram then it will be beneficial in future :neutral:

Windows 7 64-bit, though you may face incompatibility issues with some softwares and games. but it will utilize all you ram upto 128gb i think

Only very few and old games have compatibility issues with 64bit Windows 7 . And you can fix most of those issues in one or the other way.

Win 7 64 bit is the way to go if you have 4GB or more ram.I have never experienced any compatibility issues with games.But you may face driver issues if you have older devices specially desi USB products.I have a pixel view tv tuner it was a pain in *** to configure that in win7 64.I couldnt install USB drivers for my iball router etc..

Well I had this query for a long time in my mind, just wasn't finding enough reason to create a thread, but as it's created I am asking...
It seems the Windows 7 64 bit is a good choice for Gaming as it will use the 4 GB RAM. I am concerned though about that Software compatibility issues, I gotta do 6-7 hours work/day, (some software related Java), so will I have problem with that?
May I know why 64 bit Windows 7 is advised? Is it only for RAM usability or is there anything related to DX11?
And is my specs (see siggy) enough good to run a game smoothly (I mean good FPS) in Win 7 64?

Thanks in advance.

PS- I am currently using Windows XP SP3 for my work and gaming, and have dual booted Win 7 32 bit, don't know for why!!! lol
