    To revive an old thread; in relation to my posts in the PC Problem thread, I am -just now- wondering if the overheating in my laptop is due to using the CPU's 64-bit feature by running Win7 x64? The laptop's standard install came with Vista x86, so I was thinking maybe it's architecture was designed to use in 32-bit mode only. Maybe used in 64-bit, it'd mean greater power consumption=increasing temperature, causing my overheating problems. Or should it not matter? I googled it but couldn't find anything.

    I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. I hope I don't sound like a n00b.
