    Hi,

    I've just upgraded my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7 and it doesn't allow me to play games as I used to with the XP. I tried to downgrade OS to the previous one but I can't because I have deleted the Windows.old folder.

    Previously, I installed only Windows 32 bit and I think about shifting to Linux to play my favorite games.

    Should my computer have problem if I install Linux 64 bit. According to Linux documents, this OS features are very great.

    Thanks

    Do you have a 64-bit computer?

    I'm not sure. How to tell the different between the machines? If I don't, I can afford it as soon as I get to a nearby computer store. I'm kind of boring of this thing.

    you can just select a linux iso file for 32bit system - its always available. linux don't ignore 32bit users.
