okay, so i bought a brand new xps for christmas, two of them actually, mine seems to always have some problems though. and when i actually looked in dxdiag it says i’m running 32 bit, but the other one is a 64 bit. they have all the same parts!
could this just be a 32 bit version of windows?? please help i’m tired of the errors and bugs. (ps. i HATE vista)

All Core2 Quad processors are 64 bit. You must be using 32bit software (OS, drives, etc).
Don’t bother with a 64 bit O.S.: Many programs will run in 32 bit emulation mode only (which is slower) or won’t run at all.
Nice machine by the way!
Have a nice day!
