Re: [WIN7] Moving from 32 to 64bit?? It is a bit bothersome. It is also worth noting that either you run 64 bit MS apps, or 32 bit, but it has to be all or nothing (i.e. you can have 64 bit Excel and 32 bit Outlook). I mention this because most of the nice add-ons I use for Outlook don't work in the 64 bit flavor, not that there is anything wrong with Outlook 64, the add-on developers just haven't ported it yet.
I rolled back to 32 bit. |

| You're an exception to the rule as it's certainly not "all or nothing", you can install 32-bit Microsoft Office if you use some bizarre Outlook add-ins that aren't supported in x64. Heck, Microsoft Office 2010 installs 32-bit by default...
Most new PC's and laptops have been x64 since around 2nd quarter 2009. |

Centainly your average naive plugin will require to match the bitness of the thing into which it is plugging, and certainly kernel-mode components need to match the bitness of the OS, but beyond that there's no "all or nothing" about application bitness. That is, you can run 32-bit "app X" and 64-bit "app Y".
Maybe you meant all that, but your syntax isn't entirely clear. |

I downgraded a system for the same reason. RAM was limited to 4 GB max due to the chipset. Stupid HP; they could have used a newer chip set to allow more RAM.
