The only reason not to upgrade to 64-bit is... if you have a 32-bit processor. I'm sure people can make the decision themselves, no need to repeatedly harp on it.

As for System Advisor, you can suggest anything you want, but MS does not support old hardware past a certain point. This has nothing to do with the functionality of said hardware.
