well, i was under the assumption that you can't upgrade a 32bit OS to 64bit (i was running vista 32bit); also while my processor is an athlonx2 64 and i have 4 gigs of ram, i figured my hardware couldn't handle it as well as a solid desktop.
furthermore i keep reading about how a lot of 32bit software won't work in a 64bit environment, and vice-versa. and i also read that there isn't a whole lot of 64bit software being created yet- so pretty much, when 64bit software becomes more mainstream, then i'll update.
i was mainly concerned that my DAWs, ASIO drivers, and traktor wouldn't work anymore (which they do). i had to update and reinstall VirtualCloneDrive, for example. i also had a version of Alcohol120% that i had to straight-up uninstall before windows 7 would even let me complete the installation.
