Considering the move to 64 bit

if you are running 64 bit OS on 32 bit hardware, then it would still work because the memory management is better.

if you are planning to run 32 bit OS on 63 bit hardware, then you might face hardware's driver problem.

The best is to run 64 bit OS on 64 bit hardware.

PC sales would go up despite arrival of Longhorn in one year time.
