Need advice to upgrade my HP 6515b

[Haviva]

I am having the HP 6515 laptop and it is being working well. It has the AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology Processor with the windows 7 32 bit installed on it. It also has the 80 GB hard disk and the Ram is of 1GB. I want to upgrade the windows from 32 bit to 64 bit. As I am game addict and love to play latest games and the thing here is that is it possible for me to play the games with the 64 bit windows 7, Since I have heard that windows 7 64 bit gives bad support for games. Also I want to know the major difference between the 32 bit and 64 bit. Also let me know whether it will run on my system configuration if not them lease tell me the minimum system requirements for windows 7 64 bit.

The major difference is in the term 32 bit and 64 bit which refers the way in which a system’s processor handles the information. In short it is manner in which the central processing unit manages the data. In the 64 bit windows 7 has the tendency to work on more RAM that is if you will increase the Ram of the system with the windows 7 64 bit then it will not give any problem. But if you will do the same thing with the 32 bit then it will surely give you the problems. So in all manners the windows 7 64 bit is best and if you will go for the same then it will give you some exiting services to deal with.

As asked by you here are the system configuration for windows 7 64 bit:

• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor.
• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit).
• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit).
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.

I am sure that going through this system requirements will help you to know whether you can install the windows 7 64 bit on your system or not.

Well I guess if you love to play games on your laptop and have a fear that after upgrading the operating system it will play the games or not. Then there is nothing to worry just do one thing purchase a new graphic card which is compatible with your system and then install the same. I am sure that using the graphic card will help you to get experience of playing games and also with great quality.
