E-buyer are one of my more favoured companies to buy from, I ordered an LG W2361V-PF/Flatron 23", they dispatched it Thursday I got it on my doorstep Friday, They also have their own youtube channel, facebook page and Twitter. E-buyer are pretty darn awesome in my opinion :).

As for the OS the only real difference between 32 and 64 bit versions are if you're taking advantage of more RAM,

Straight form Microsoft:
"The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system."

If i'm not mistaken 32-bit is more suited to less than 4GB of RAM and 64-bit for 4GB of RAM or more.

One thing to keep in mind with e-buyer is their rather draconian requirements for proof of identity the first time you buy anything from them. I ordered a monitor from them and the next day I got an email from them saying my order was canceled and would not be reactivated until I provided them with a copy of my passport and utility bills. This was supposedly in the name of "Fraud Prevention".

Needless to say I took my order elsewhere and actually found the same monitor cheaper.

Okay, so i haven't bought a monitor yet and i will be using an LCD tv for the mean time. . .is it really true that using the tv with the computer can make it or will make it faulty. . .

The only way this can happen from what i can see is if you leave the machine on the desktop or some other static image for a very long time. This can cause screen burn in plasmas. Extreme cases it can happen to Tft's too.

You would have to be trying hard to cause any type of damage.
