Ditto on the 64 bit version. I think chrisso meant 32 bit driver. Even with that, I'd go with 64 bit Windows 7 Pro. With Pro you can run XP mode and use your 32 bit driver in it. I did this for a Canon scanner I had. Canon didn't have a 64 bit driver so I installed it in Windows XP mode and used it there.
your graphics card is a little under powered for that cpu, btw. You could go up to a 6770 or 7770 but I would advise on a used 6770, as you are less likely to run into compatibility issues.
(dont let this stop you if you can try a 7770 first.)

Hokay, it works like this; you have 4 gig ram installed.
64 bit , no problem.
32 Bit, windows can only use 3.2 gig of ram.
0.8 gig is inacc ina inuc unuseable.
Frames per second loss? probably zero.
However. you dont want that ram idle if you are multitasking.,or
running some really big game your cpu can only just handle. The difference in cost between these o/s's? nothing. The windows 7 pro code can be used for either 32 or 64 bit versions and you can swap if you need to. The code is for 7 pro on the machine. Geddit? Use which one you want. I met TOO MANY people who had paid somebody to 'HACK '
them 64 bit when they already owned it. All they had to do was put the 64 bit disk in and re install with the same code.
Geddit? ;#}

Also, limiting access to 3.2 gig out of four causes problems for dual channel memory (2X2 Gig) it is possible your audio can drop out because of allocated ram locations being in the unread bit,(been there, scratching my head) and you can lose efficiency on your bank interleave (dual channel) performance bonus. I dont want to bore you fellow intel user, shall we just say use 64 bit?
I would and not worry further.

Well if you are talking about a 16 bit printer, I'd challenge you to find a contemporary motherboard that has the parallel port to connect it to. If it's a USB anything, it has a 32 bit driver. Windows 95 had USB support "hacked" in by the motherboard manufacturers, Windows 98 was the first official MicroSoft OS to support USB and both were 32 bit OS's.
In fact I'm having a difficult time imagining a single piece of hardware from the 90's that you could use on a new computer. Maybe something that uses the comm port?

Is that not a printer header on my mother board there somewhere?
Anyroad. When did 32bit go out of fashion as a standard O/S format?
5 years ago? 7 ?
You can challenge all you like. I never said 32 bit was popular now, only why it was introduced. It was for XP, mostly, but you know how biznesses dont throw things away? The boxes all came with half a gig (another scam) so secretaries suffered, and printers stayed.
;#} Oh, maybe it is a comms port. Bludgeoned if I know. .
