My apologies, see you are already sporting a core2 CPU, didn't read properly.

Your notebook is already very powerful I see, and you shouldn't have trouble programming in Vista on it, but unfortunately I cannot give you the advantages of running a 64-bit system, although I know that if you have a 64-bit OS running, 64-bit hardware backing it up, and running 64-bit apps, you would definately notice the boost in performance over 32-bit apps.

But I have only heard of this in gaming related topics, but what works for gaming should work great for programming...at least regarding the consumption of resources and such.

Second opinion anyone?
