 I know there was a utility to check if ones system could handle the
"virtual memory" of XP, but all my systems would need upgrading to pass
that test.

 My main concern is that I have a large number of legacy programs that
will run under 32-bit (such as under XP), but they will NOT work under
64-bit. The BBS is one of the last hobbies I can still do, and I can't
see upgrading the OS just to satisfy Microsoft's Corporate Greed (never
mind the cost), and then having to reinstall everything.
