Does this come with Win7 32 bit or 64 bit? Descriptions says 32 bit, will 32 bit handle over 4 GB of memory?

I am going to hope that this is a typo because you are correct, a 32 bit operating system will not utilize over 4 GB of RAM.

I wouldn't even consider buying this until that is cleared up. Since the seller hasn't responded my guess it is only 32 bit and that is a waste

I can't say that I know the answer to this for certain - but generally speaking Windows will run 32 bit programs if it is a 64 bit OS. I don't see why WHS would be any different than Win7. I just did quick check on mine and I have two programs that I know are 32 bit running on my WHS so there should be no problem. Best way to check is install - if they work, great, if not - just uninstall. That's assuming you already have the programs you want to install of course, if not then cross your fingers; seriously though I think you won't have a problem as long as it is a windows program it should run. The only problems I have ever had with 32 bit programs is if they were ancient, then it can become problematic. Good luck.

I've a 32GB drive. It works with Win 8. I assume 64GB drives should work with Win 8.

Yes, it is Windows 8 64 bit. I upgraded RAM memory to 8 GB without any problem. System recognizes all the installed memory.

64 bit. Works well. Not sure I like Windows 8 but that's they way they all come now.

My Asus N61JQ-X1 came with Windows 7 Home 64 bit. It's 64-bit, but 32 bit software runs on it just fine.

well, the description must state that it is 32 bit. And if your system can run windows 7 it should work. That is what I did and now I am running windows 7 on my desktop that came with windows vista...hope that helps

giving that it's coming with win8, you better use it. 32bit can't use more than 4gig of ram, and is not in use these days so there is really no point for using it..im using the default and very happy with it

This machine comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.

This board is compatible with both 32 and 64... But I wouldnt even bother using 32 due to the RAM issues with going above 4gb. If you plan on installing more than 4gb go 64 bit OS

Hi, Yes, it supports Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems (also XP 32 bit and 64 bit operatingsystems). It also supports DDR2 and DDR3 memory, but not both at the same time.

Yes, I have Win7 installed. I did upgrade the memory to I believe 6gb, but you could probably install with just 1gb. It would run slower, though.

Mine came with 8 gigs of ram; two 4 gig sticks. There are 4 slots in this computer, two available. But...don't make the same mistake I made! This unit can handle 32 Gigs of ram, but Windows 7 home edition which is install on this computer can only handle 16 gigs of ram, so i wasted 16 gigs of memory which i installed on my computer. Windows 7 won't recognize the other 16 gigs. i need to upgrade to windows 7 professional, or windows 8

Yes, 64 bit windows 7 professional installed but the windows 7 disc included was for a 32 bit OS!`

32GB assuming that you have windows 7 pro. Basic limits you on ram available.

I have one and it's 64 bit. My only disappointment was that it will only handle 8GB of memory. Other than that, it works great.

I believe it can hold two 2 gigabyte sticks for a total of 4 gigabytes. It can probably hold two 4 gigabyte sticks for a total of 8 gigabytes but the BIOS will not recognize it. In fact it may not allow your system to boot at all. Stick to a maximum of 4 gigabytes total. In order for Windows to recognize all 4 gigabytes you must run a 64 bit operating system. A 32 bit system will not utilize all 4 gigabytes of RAM so you will be wasting your money. If you are running a Linux OS it will not matter, you can run a 32 bit version and still be able to utilize all the RAM.
