I am sure there are some Windows pros around here that can answer my question:
I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 today. Before I got Windows 7, I checked if my dual core processor is 64-bit compatible. It showed as compatible, so I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit edition.
I just ran the Windows performance check ("experience index"). It used to be at
4.9 (with memory being the lowest index). Now the CPU performance index is only at
3.6.
Does this mean that I would be better off installing the 32-bit version of Windows 7?
Is my (older) laptop computer not fully compatible with 64-bit?
I don't see any significant loss of performance.
