Post Has anyone else's Windows 7 arrived yet?

Wow, I pre-ordered Windows 7 Home Premium and it's arrived 3 days early!

Anyway, it's arrived with both 32 bit and 64 bit versions!? (on seperate DVD's)

I'm not sure what version to install. I have 4GB so would like to utilise all it using the 64 bit version but I'm not sure...

(a) How much software works with the 64 bit version?

(b) Is there 64 bit versions of most drivers?

Mine isn't here yet. I haven't been charged for it yet either, have you?

You shouldn't have any issues finding 64-bit drivers, but you do need to take care that you do correctly get 64-bit drivers for everything. There are 64-bit versions for some software, but 32-bit software will work fine within a 64-bit environment.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes I was charged for it a few days ago. I would assume you'll be charged for it before it arrives.
