Good morning everyone,

I am looking to buy a new Dell Studio 17 laptop with Windows 7.  All of the current machines all list 64 bit.

I am very confused.  I have a Dell 2200 laptop and a Dell Dimension 2400 desktop.  Everything I have is 32 bit.

What is the difference and what will having 64 bit mean exactly?

Does this mean that all of my software programs will not run on the 64 bit Studio 17?  

Am I going to have to  replace all of my favorite software programs?  I just don't know enough about this and am very confused?  Not even sure I am asking the right questions.

Thank you for any help you can give.

tannis z TN
