Okay let's be clear, I'm not interested in pirating or breaking any licensing terms.

I have 2 PCs, a desktop and laptop, both currently running xp media centre. Purchased my laptop in January and I've submitted, but am still waiting for my vista express upgrade.

It was always my intention to upgrade the laptop first, since that's just an entertainment PC.

Anyway, I received a complementary copy of vista home premium upgrade from Microsoft today (long story basically I moaned that my desktop was purchased just before the express upgrade started, with a big dose of my disability/special equipment!).

I have just purchased a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate, my computer has a AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual core processor 3800+

My question is I want to take advantage of the 64 bit capability

Does my retail copy of Windows Vista Ultimate come with a 64 bit install or do I have to purchase another version of vista primarily for 64 bit

Thank you for any replies

While Windows Vista may be Microsoft's most secure operating system ever, it's far from completely secure. In its fresh-from-the-box configuration, Vista still leaves a chance for your personal data to leak out to the Web through Windows Firewall, or for some nefarious bot to tweak your browser settings without your knowing.
