Iam planning to upgrade from Win/XP Pro to Win7 and want to know which
Windows 7 I should install? There is a 32 bit and 64 bit version and I'm
a bit confused as to which one is correct for my laptop.
I "think" I have a 32 bit unit, but am not quite sure.
I've listed some info from my computer which I hope helps to give me an answer.

Windows 7 I should install? There is a 32 bit and 64 bit version and I'm
a bit confused as to which one is correct for my laptop.
I "think" I have a 32 bit unit, but am not quite sure.
I've listed some info from my computer which I hope helps to give me an answer.
I hope I didn't post too much info.
