But honestly if you want 64-bit to take advantage of the extra RAM, I'd just use a 32-bit VM for coding. Much easier than dual booting, especially if that's all you'll use the 32-bit environment for.

Ha ha I never said "remove" I just didnt wanna loose the ram by downgrading to 32bit.
I just dual booted my lappy and it seems like its working awesome. I havent plugged in to my car...im waiting for a special day that im feeling good.
