64-bit Support: Can anyone tell me if this really is an issue?

I held off a long time for the same reason. Rest assured, Vista 64 compatibility was added with the the Power Pack 1 (think SP 1) which also corrected the data corruption problem and added other features. Note, it is a pain as you have to first install from a 32-bit operating system before you can install under Vista 64-bit. In other words, I had to connect my girlfriend's laptop with Vista 32 and start the install before I could ultimately connect my Vista 64 desktop to the EX470. It does work though and I love this product. I'm backing-up automatically, set up a photo share for my friends to access, can trade files with friends and serve all my music / video files to my Xbox 360s over powerline ethernet adapters. I recommend upgrading memory from 512mb to 2gb (HP has lifted warranty restriction against this).

The processor supports 64 bit instructions, but if the seller has installed a 32bit operating system then obviously 64bit software will not function. A 64bit operating system is primarily useful to allow for more than 3GB of RAM to be seen by the operating system.

There is a solution for 64bit processors that works perfectly. You can find the tutorial here. It only involves the disc and editing a single file. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKan-FbCfVM

The simple answer is yes. I'm running Windows 7 64bit Professional. Ultimate is about the same thing...you have a few more bells and whistles than I do; but they are essentially similar.

The default is 64 bit. However, we could install 32 bit OS per custoomer's request.

16-bit software will not run on Windows 7 64-bit. Not sure that it will run on the 32-bit version, but I don't have that version.

It's been awhile since I got the computer, but I think it's 64 bit. If you tell me how to access that info, I will look it up for you.

Hi, I think it was advertized as 64-bit,but after checking it is 32-bit. It works okay for me,but it is something to watch out for.

Yes, it does since it has no problem working with my 64 bits Window 7.Good luck.

I'm pretty sure, yes. I have it running on 8.0 64bit w/no problems other than the drivers are super antiquated.

Yes. I have been using it on my Win7 64 bit box for some time now and have had no issues.

Yes...quite well I might add. I run Windows 7 Pro 64 bit...never a problem.

FWIW: Have mine running on Windows 7 64 bit without problems so I'm pretty sure it works under Win 8 as well, your mileage may vary though ;-)

This is confusing. The company website says it doesn't work with 64-bit systems - does that mean Windows 7? Why don't they just tell us what it does or does not work with - we aren't all computer people.

Will all software work with a 64 bit OS versus a 32 bit? What problems would I encounter and/or need to overcome if I purchased a 64-bit laptop?

I don't know for sure - I was using windows 7., 64 bit and it seemed to work ok. There were some bugs and hang ups but it eventually worked ok

This is 32 bit, if it were the 64 bit version that would be indicated (possibly as "X64")
