Yes, it say that in the linked article. I pointed it out because some ppl do not have MS Update turned on.

And only 32bit which I honestly don't understand why people would really bother running.

Unless you have a 1gb or larger GPU there really is no need for 64bit.

Most people don't need 6gb or 8gb of ram at all. Most are fine with 2 or 4

But you can't even use the full 4GB with 32bit...

And I think the majority of people who run an RC OS, will have 4GB+ and even new PC's are generally shipping with 4GB, some even 8GB. And well OEM's are already starting to use 64bit Vista, so I think Windows 7 x64 will take most of the market.

I see no reason to not have 8 gigs of ram. It's stupid cheap right now....

I'm actually suprised Microsoft has a 32bit RC of Windows 7

Nope, though I'm using NOD32 4.0 fine.
