I'm about to cleanse my computer and reinstall Windows.
I'm gonna set up a dual boot system. One boot will be clean and used solely for Ableton Suite 8 and Traktor Pro. The other will be for general use like email, browsing etc.
I can go 32 or 64 bit and wondering which is best. I have a 2.8GHz Core2Duo CPU and 6GB RAM. I've got two separate internal drives at 750GB and 80GB with a 1TB external drive. My music is all on the external drive.
My plan was to split the 750GB to two partitions, installing 32 bit XP on one and 64 bit Win7 on the other. The 80GB will be split in two as well, half for a clean backup image of .each OS.
Should I bother with the 32 bit XP.or just install the 64 bit version? I know my RAM will be limited in 32 bit, but am thinking lots of Ableton and Traktor effects etc are still only 32 bit compatible.
What would be this fabulous forums advice?
