if you have Vista 32bit you can upgrade that for like next to nothing. I got qouted like £6.71
QUOTE And it's legal, too!
If you have a retail or an upgrade version of Windows Vista, go here and put in your Product Key. Cost is $10 shipped. Most OEM keys won't work with the above site, but you can try it. If yours doesn't work, go here instead, where all OEM keys are accepted: Media Replacement for End Users of System Builders (US/Canada only) For other countries, check the list here. One of the valid reasons for media replacement is: Upgrade/downgrade from 32/64-bit Windows Now the unfortunate part is it costs $30 shipped (in the US). But at least there is a (relatively inexpensive) legal option for 32-bit Windows OEM users to get their 64-bit discs! --------------------  |

Yep its true because that is what I have done over the last few weeks.
The price includes postage for the disc that comes from USA...awesome. A good tip is to download 64bit drivers for all your software/hardware etc. and keep them on a flash-drive or DVD until you need them! |

i guess i might as well get the 64, i currently have 32, but i can get it for free from school. just don't know if that will make much of a difference.
