Hi, I am about to buy a new laptop.
They all have Vista SP1 but I have been told that the hardware in all new puters is 64 bit, however I can get either 32 OR 64 bit SOFTWARE in a new puter. I have also been told that 32 bit should run all my old software with possibly the need for some patches. I want to continue using WordPerfect Office 2000, Front Page 2002 etc.
I also understand that 64 bit Vista software will not run ANYTHING I presently have, and would have to buy all new software. (This would add thousands of dollars. which puts everything out of my budget!)
Anyone know the EXACT answer to this? I don't want to get a new laptop home and find nothing works.
I am considering the new HP Pavillion Dv 5 series. Two bad Toshibas in a row dumps them from my want list.
Thanx for any advice.
