I checked it out and it says it is 64 bit capable. I had no idea I could upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit by simply installing a Windows 7 64 bit disk. I thought you would have to do a hardware change like changing the processor. This is great news because I was going to do the upgrade but I thought I would have to stick with a 32 bit operating system. How do I find out if my laptop can handle more RAM?

So you have to make sure your motherboard will support the extra RAM.If you are looking for better "performance" pay attention to the WEI entries. On the the example provided, you would get a more noticeable performance boost by upgrading the Video system. Focus on the parts of the system with the lowest WEI ratings, they are the system bottleneck. EXACTLY Why do you want to upgrade to 64 bit?
