decision time 64 or 32 bit

Need a bit of help on decision making between two Sony Laptops a Vaio FW 41ZJH and a Vaio
FW 41MH the Vaio FW 41ZJH is of a higher spec with a 64 bit architecture > 6GB memory > and full HD screen
But what makes me a bit suspicious is that they are both the same price from Sony shops UK. Not so long ago the FW 41ZJH was a few hundred pounds more. I have read a few reviews where people say it is hard to get the drivers for the 64 bit operating system and one guy decided to exchange the 64 bit for a 32 bit operating system. I would be grateful for any knowledge

Most sony models now come with 64bit windows as these are becoming the norm... If i was you i would buy one of the the FW51 models as they come with windows 7 and are only £100 or so more. but you your just choosing between the 2 then its really upto you.. The 64bit operating system is faster and can recognise more the 4gb of ram as the 32bit dnt. only downside of the 64bit is that not all programs run on it. So you will need to check if your important programs run on it, if so theres no reason not to use the 64bit. Most new programs will run on 64bit system these days the issue is really with older software.
