Actually, you can use 4GB - and more - in 32-bit Windows. After all, Windows Server 2003 does up to 64GB. The limit is one of licensing, and can be patched out with a test kernel:

There may be issues with particular drivers or hardware that cause this to fail on certain systems. However, it worked fine for me.

Yes. This is directly that I've done. At first on Vista and now - on Win7 x86. The system is working very quickly and stably (it's only necessary to update BIOS and all drives before the patching).

Only one little thing - the Test Mode watermark on the desktop which can be removed by patching user32.dll.mui and running mcbuilder.exe in the command prompt.

What can I say else? I like Windows-7. This is really a Great Operating System that has a long future.

Well you have all convinced me. 64 bit it is and I knew you received both 32 and 64 with windows 7 I just didn't list that correctly. Thank you everyone for the help.
