16GB of harddrive space seems a little large. I was of the understanding that WIN 7 would be smaller and snappier...

Windows 7 is not 16 GB, it is only 8 GB.
My comp supports 64 bit so is it a good idea to use 64 bit on it?

Hmm... Interesting facts, thank you.
I would however expect there to be minor differences concerning 'min. requirements' when it comes to the 'rediculously' different versions of Win-7 available?
Do these specs. mentioned above refer to Win-7 Ultimate?
Great post, very informative!
