looked pretty reasonable, until I got to this: 64-bit.
I have Microsoft Office 2003 on my present desktop computer, and
Microsoft Office 2000 on my present laptop computer.
Will these programs run on a new '64-bit' computer?
(The OS on the for-sale computer is Vista Home Premium. If I get
the computer, I would probably delete Vista and put XP on it.)
The computer is 64bit - but is the Operating System?
Most applications that run on a 32bit version of an operating system will
run on a 64bit version of the same operating system. There may be *some*
issues in a few cases - some strange crashes, etc. But again - a computer
being 64bit capable and having a 64bit operating system installed are two
different things.
Most newer hardware/software can run on either.
Personally - I wouldn't buy a computer from Office Depot, Office Max, Best
Buy, Circuit City, etc... I would order it straight from whatever
manufacturer actually is making the models the big-box stores are seeling at
worst. I would then be able to speak with the manufacturer and make sure it
had everything I needed/wanted and have them explain to me things
(confirming those things with my own Google searches and other research.)
