Now that Microsoft has officially released the 64bit of Windows, what is more interesting is you can upgrade your 32 bit OS to 64 bit for free (you need to order before July 31st) – yep its true – for free – nada, zilch, nothing.

Yep, it is very important actually because the 64 bit version will *not* support 32-bit device drivers and will not run any 16-bit applications.
