(And it really as simple as this)IN terms of whether that is worth it, it doesn't seem too bad, but being from John Lewis, I'm sure a specialist laptop.pc shop will have a better deal.Good luck.

Guest Swiftie Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Upgrading to a 64bit system will be of no advantage to yourselfits hardware relatedNot all the time, it depends. If his BIOS will detect the 4GB then install 64bit Vista or Windows 7 and off he goes. But without testing he will never know. You can't fully know his hardware/chipset spec bar the fact he's told you he has 4GB ram with a Dual Core processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
