I've yet to run in to an app that doesn't run properly on 64-bit win 7. Is there something specific that you were thinking of?

[Dutchess]

E-Machine E627-5279 CPU thats the one Walmart had for $198. I purchased two of them :) It was 2g ram, not even 3g like this one (I purchased one of these from BB too)
