The sad bits

I will stick to the facts here. Software that runs natively in Windows 64bit versions is hard to find and sometimes buggy.

Trying to break out of the 4 gig world I bought a refurb dual processor workstation class 64bit system. The thing runs great in Windows XP 32 bit. Windows 7 x64 is so bad that I am considering a change to Vista.

Adobe flash, Firefox, and my laserjet driver are all missing from the x64bit world. I am very dissappointed. If I play a music file in MediaMonkey at the same time I am doing anything else the song skips so bad I just turn it off. This is bad news for me. My oldP4 with 1.5 gig of RAM would read music files for hours at a time without missing a beat.

I am mad and out of options. If I put a 32bit OS then I lose my RAM upgradability. If I stick to this I will have to buy a new printer and an iPod.

This is distracting and I think I will just let it be for now.
