Ok, so this falls under the mantra "you get what you pay for." I bought a computer for cheap online. The company had great customer feedback reviews so I figured I'd take a chance. They shipped the machine. Didn't boot up. Turns out after some research, I likely had a fried motherboard (an epidemic problem with that particular model). So I shipped it back and they sent me a replacement (different model), claiming the replacement was installed with 64 bit Win 7.
It's not. It's running 32 bit Win 7.
Do I once again pack up a machine and ship it back, or do I suck it up and stick with the 32 bit? I'll be running Cubase LE 5 on it with a focusrite 2i4. My goal is to record audio with a tad bit of midi work with a drum machine.
I used to record audio on an ancient Win 98 Pentium III machine with a soundblaster sound card. My main purpose in switching was I wanted greater sound quality (more clarity).
I'm not looking to do extensive loops or sampling, but I did want to use at least some VST plugins.
Am I screwed? Should I ship it back? Or will the differences between 32 bit and 64 really not be that a big a deal considering what my goals are? I know 64 bit can handle greater amounts of data faster, but I'm not sure what that really means in practical terms with audio recording.
Any thoughts?
