Hi....I recently switched to windows 7 professional 64 bit(on the laptop).....the problem I am experiencing now is that my wired internet connection does not seem to work on it.Everytime I switch on the router (UT-304R2) my connection will run for sometime and then it drops.It will run for a few seconds if I restart the router,and then drop again.Now the same connection worked fine on windows 7 32 bit as well as windows xp sp3.Also,if at all i decide to switch to win 7 32bit...will it change my life considerably??
Thanks

Only if you have RAM more than 4GB. Otherwise there is no difference for you.
