Will NWN2 be able to be played on Win7 64 Bit Ultimate Edition, or would I need to install the 32 Bit version?

I had Vista on my laptop. It got slower and slower and slower. You'd be much better off with Win XP. It took over 5 minutes just to boot into Windows. I decided to upgrade my gaming rig which would include Win 7 Ultimate.
My new rig:
Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
AMD Phenom II X4 3.4Mhz overclocked to 3.9Mhz
ATI Radeon HD 5970 2Gb
Asus Republic Of Gamers mobo
60Gb SSD
4Gb Dominator 1800Mhz Memory
I installed Win 7 on the SSD. It now takes only 13 seconds to boot into Windows. What a difference to bootup time.
I then installed NWN 2 on the SSD. The disk wouldn't Autoplay, so I ran the 'Run in Compatibilty Mode for Win XP'. It installed and updated very, very quickly compared to Vista, which took half a lifetime.
I set all graphics to max and NWN 2 has changed into a completely new game. Animation is silky smooth and Camera scrolling is now a breeze and no longer an effort. Graphical effects of spells are nothing short of awesome, there's no other way to describe it. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement. The new gameplay justifies the expense. NWN 2 is now a joy to play and no longer a chore. No more 800 x 600 low resulution.
Get yourself a 60Gb SSD, folks, if you don't already own one and live a new life, free from stress. There's plenty of room on the disk for the OS and a few games. I still have 29Gb free after installing Win 7 and NWN 2. It's about £120 from ebuyer and worth every penny. You'll enjoy NWN 2 much more.
