    If you mean LN47267 and LN47266 - then one version is 64bit, the other for 32bit.

    No, LN47267 looks like the "normal" 64 bit from what I can tell, I haven't the foggiest what LN47269/FQC-05955 is . 64 bit DSP OEI?

    If you get PRO and need the media centre functionality, Microsoft are giving this away as a free add-on until the end of the month and you can get the free code for this by visiting the following link ;
