It's 2.8GHz. The problem is, I've got the 32-bit version of Windows. Will there be a ridiculous, considerable and noticeable difference if I upgrade the OS, or is there no point in doing so? I don't really expect answers, so this is mostly a thread where I'll ponder the question by myself. mmm.

And unless you are an application whore who likes to have every app on their computer going at once, you won't need more than 3Gb. pleaseremove Posted at 8:24 am on July 1, 2008 There is no real speed change between them. All you end up with is more address space so you can have past 4 gig or RAM and video memory combined. circa Posted at 8:03 am on July 1, 2008 Quote: from reev at 10:56 am on July 1, 2008 you on vista or xp? I use a 64b version of vista ultimate and it's a huge difference compared to the 32bit XP. Vista's too much of a burden to learn as of yet, unfortunately. scottyrob Posted at 7:57 am on July 1, 2008 The only noticable difference between using any 32 / 64bit OS is the amount of ram it supports 32Bit supports upto 3Gb ram, 64bit supports at least 32Gig It will not noticably effect anything else reev Posted at 7:56 am on July 1, 2008 you on vista or xp?
