The 32bit option ended up being a good compromise. The pc is back to its snappy self (I did a disk format and a clean install to get rid of the overhead that had accumulated over 2 years) and I have full services of the MusicPad.

It's the way to go at least until we discover a replacement for the MusicPad.
