D DeanP Banned Messages 43 Location Auckland, NZ Jan 27, 2011 #2 I prefer having Windows 8 support 32-bit so that my old laptop can support as well. Sure Microsoft would like to put 64-bit version only - but there are too much programs designed for 32-bit only, not 64-bit. EDIT: Thanks for the info.

I would like to run it on my crap Sempron laptop too, and I don't think that we will see a server separation now, maybe in the next major release.
