Would like to buy Win7 32bit recovery media, but open to other Win7 options.

FYI: media from T400/T500 and T410/T510/W510 will also work, as do 64-bit versions (recommended).
With 32-bit your RAM is limited to a little over 3GB usable!
AFAIK with 64-bit the W500 is limited to 8GB.
The W510 and up, with 4 RAM-slots, can use 16/32GB.
Lovely day for a Guinness! (The Real Black Stuff)

I have both 32 and 64 bit versions of win 7 pro, and also a win7 upgrade that shipped with this series since they originally shipped with Vista. Send me a PM and we can discuss options to get the discs to you.
