Not sure if there is a better place to post this, but here goes;

I placed an order for this sytem;

Intel(R) CoreT i5-750 2.66 GHz 8M L2 Cache LGA1156
EVGA 9800 gt 512 mb
750gb HDD
4GB (2GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz RAM
EVGA P55 LE Intel P55 Chipset
700W PS

Now I have a choice;

Buy Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit from my school for 15$, or buy Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for 105$

Would you say it's worth 90$ for 64 bit > 32 bit? I'll be using it for basic web browsing, MS Office, and the occasional game (Mainly just FPS, I'm sure I'll get Crysis soon). Oh, and I'm on a somewhat limited college budget.

Windows 7 x86 (32-bit)

>90% of apps are x86. They can run on x64, but are subject to x86 limitations such as RAM.

Good Luck in school - keep with it!
