hey, thanx for the advice, but i sadly am a bit of a noob, what is the difference between OEM and retail.

with oem u can't change your motherboard...

with retail u can change your motherboard as many times as u like....

simple as that really....

i just got Vista 64bit from OcUK and i have had no hardware incompatibilities at all and pretty much all of my software works fine.

it only seems to be the small apps that dont work things like emulators for example.

It also seems faster and things load quicker, its a great OS. Keeping XP for the other apps
