You are entitled to both versions 32 and 64 bit, when you get vista, however
only one disk is given to you unless you have ultimate retail, in that case you have both disks for 32 and 64 bit. I strongly advise AGAINST installing 64 bit at the moment. Keep away for some more time until it becomes main stream. There is a reason that 99 percent of new machines have 32 bit windows on them!

I forgot to say you can order the other disk (example 64 bit if you already
have the 32 bit one) from MS and use your product key and it will work, the cost of the disk is shipping and handling.

I have 64 as well, but will it benefit me if I do not have a 64 CPU, given
that my hardware and Software is 64 compatible? thanks Daniel "Be Yond" <> wrote in message news:47fdb180$... >I forgot to say you can order the other disk (example 64 bit if you already >have the 32 bit one) from MS and use your product key and it will work, the >cost of the disk is shipping and handling. > > > "Be Yond" <> wrote in message > news:47fdb0fa$... >> You are entitled to both versions 32 and 64 bit, when you get vista, >> however only one disk is given to you unless you have ultimate retail, in >> that case you have both disks for 32 and 64 bit. >> >> I strongly advise AGAINST installing 64 bit at the moment.
