Hello becko: 1) you can only install 64-bit Windoze if you have 4GB (or more). 2) I recently started running this OS with 6GB. All of my older examples which used a lot of memory (for graphics or imported data) run much faster now. 3) the best improvement is that File-Saves which occasionaly were interminable (sic?) are now completed in a reasonable (if not short) period of time. I will probably go to 8GB soon.

Would I gain some performance with Mathematica if I installed 64bit windows 7? I have a quad-processor, but only 2 gb ram, so I am not sure. Thanks.
