Is my system capable of running a 64 bit OS? Windows 7 I will be adding more ram.

:confused I don't know what your system is, so I can't really comment. But, chances are it can. If your PC is less than 3-4 years old, with at least 2gb of memory, then it should be OK.

Windows 7 system requirements

If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

*

1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
*

1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
*

16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
*

DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

Personally, I think these specs are low, but they are minimum system requirements, and would probably provide for a slow and frustating computing experience. I'd double the above numbers for decent performance.
