Hey guys. I took the plunge and decided to buy Vista. The store I purchased it from told me that they only sold 64 bit, but when I took it home, it was 32. I went to the Microsoft website to purchase the 64 disk, but here's my question. Is the 64 disk an upgrade disk? Would it mean that I need to install my purchased 32 first and then install the 64 once it comes in? I'm not sure if I should be waiting because I don't know if the 64 is a full or an upgrade because it didn't state it. Thanks. -- pentact |

(You cannot upgrade from x86 [32-bit] to x64 [64-bit] anyway). -- Mike Brannigan |
