    Should I stay away from Win7 SP1 on a low spec pentium-M? Is SP1 much slower than the initial release of Win7?

    There’s no current need to go to 128bit native. 64bit CPUs can already work with 128bit and bigger data. We’re going to be 64bit until we die. Maybe that will change in 100 years?
