W500 and Windows 8?

[clienterror]

The main reason to run a 64 bit OS is to allow more than 3 GB of RAM. Since the W500 only has 2 GB of RAM and cannot be upgraded, there is really no reason to install the 64 bit version of Windows.

No man 64 bits is TWICE as much as 32 bits so it's TWICE as fast duh! Kidding lol.

I'm enjoying Windows 8 as my daily driver for my w500, I wouldn't stick it on my main PC quite yet. It is quite stable as it seems to just lack some polish and customization.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview now available for download -- Engadget

will try this out!

[everunman]

Im surprised no comments here on consumer preview?

It was a quick install and no problems so far, Metro is so smooth now, only problem if you want to add another email account thats no hotmail or google, it didnt work for me, but you can always install windows live mail on the desktop.
Ie is so smooth too, time to sell the ipad!
