Thanks

I hope not, That's what I'm using on one of my laptops
Yup it works.

The only thing I recommend is still using the 32Bit version of Office
because of Older Plugins (Like your PayPal Plugin)
:)

I agree on the Office recommendation, which is only relevant to 2010, right?
I've heard this emphasized at length a number of times. When I move to
2010, I'll be tempted to try the 64 bit version of Excel, but unless I can
install both versions on the same box, I'm not sure I'll be able to test
that out--and for 90% of what I do, the 32-bit version will do fine.

You can't have both on the same box, from what I understand. So far, I've
stuck with the 32-bit versions, but I plan on setting up a VM with the
64-bit version and spending some time with it. To see what doesn't work. ;)
