[QUOTE="wanny-, post: 147169, member: 12232"] You should go with 64bit as everything is moving forward to 64 bit. Windows 7 will still run 32bit applications as normal. The program will be put into "Program Files (x86)" if it's a 32bit application. Plus as everyone stated, you can get more RAM utilized by the OS but it doesn't aways mean the software will utilize it but you can run many more applications at once without hangups. For 3D visualization applications such as 3Shape, it helps to have a good graphics card for movement but when the software crashes, thats more likely their code than your hardware. I would stay with Windows 7 as it's more familiar to most users than windows 8 if you are use to XP/Vista. I prefer Win7 myself as Win8 always has weird workflows on opening applications. [/QUOTE]
