Hi, i'm thinking of upgrading my 4-yr old system and was just wondering if 64-bit software is common or not and wanted to know your experience with 64-bit software...

i have a 32 bit system, but i don't see a point why 64 bit should have compatibility issues with softwares. Many of my friends have 64 bit systems. You can definitely go for it.

Sister is presently into Radio and use various sound/image editing software with video editing coming next...
