x86 is 32 bit.

Windows 7 is just as fast, if not faster than XP. The nice thing about Win7 is, is that it can make the best use out of newer hardware.

If your having a temperature problem, a new OS isn't going to change that. Consider dusting your machine, or have it dusted by someone who knows what they are doing.

The only downfall if the new hardware support is that it loses old hardware support, mostly Intel CPUs.

Also, in theory, a new OS does change temperature.

So then I need x86 or maybe I can just run x64?

Both is fine. It really depends on what you want. x86, which is basically 32-bit, will run any programs on the market, but is going to be replaced by x64 in a few months, since OEM companies like HP, is shipping more and more laptops/desktops with x64. x64, is pretty much what I said before, but can only run like 99%, and not all run perfectly at launch. Personally I'd get x64, since I'm a gamer, and apparently x64 is slightly faster.

Alright. I've seen a lot of videos on how to clean a laptop and read some guides and I will try to clean the fan. I have it for 2 years now and has never been cleaned so I suppose it will have a lot of dust inside. Even when my laptop is just simply switched on its avg. temperature is 50°C <.<

EDIT: Ok I cleaned my fan, heatsink. Weren't too dusty. Installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Both Core temperatures are ~50°C. I guess my fan just sucks. Will have to save some money for a better cooler.
