When you’re ready to take your 64 bit computer to the next level, there are a few things you can do. One is to install a 64 bit operating system. This will give your computer the ability to run more programs and access more data than it would with a 32 bit operating system. Another option is to buy a 64 bit graphics card. This will allow you to run more demanding games and applications with ease. Finally, if you want to take your computer one step further, you can install a 64 bit processor. This will allow your computer to do tasks that were once impossible, such as running multiple programs at the same time or editing videos simultaneously.

With only 64Kb of ram and an 8 bit processor, the Commodore 64 is light-years behind today’s computers.  But with a Windows 7 themepack, you can turn back the years and give your computer a quick overhaul to look more like its ancient predecessor.

Age Windows 7 with a click

Download the Commodore 64 theme from PC World (link below), and unzip the files.

Now, double-click on the Themepack file to apply the theme.

This will open your Personalization panel and will automatically change your system fonts, window style, background, and more.

Your desktop will go from your Windows 7 look…

to a modified Windows 7 look that is reminiscent of the Commodore 64.

Open an application to see all the changes … notice the old-style font in the Window boarder and menus.

This theme also changes your Computer, Recycle Bin, and User folder icons to Commodore 64-inspired icons.

And, if you want to go back to the standard Windows 7 look and feel, it’s only a click away in the Personalization dialog.  Right-click on your desktop, select Personalize, and then choose the theme you want.
