Will Windows 7 be ok on this

vjmcdonnell · 2012-07-16 12:27

I have being using XBMC for over a year with Ubuntu. Im getting tired of linux as every few weeks there is something wrong with it and sudo this and that.

Also having being using Eden XBMCbuntu I dont feel its as stable as it was before.

My MB is this http://www.picco.nl/catalog/product_info...ts_id=3842
It has 2gb of ram and a 32gb SSD

Will Windows 7 run well on this.

Also any recommendations for antivirus with a small footprint.

Thanks

I use Win7 on an Acer Revo 3610 that has a very similar spec to your PC, and it works fine. In fact that's with a conventional disk not an SSD, so your setup should be considerably faster.

Should I put 32 bit or 64 bit on.
Hope to do this on Thursday.

Fun fun fun

64 bit. There's really no need for 32 bit anymore. It's still surviving because of legacy issues.
