Buying Vista

[PikeyPriest]

Thinking about buying vista and have some quick questions:

Should i put the 64 or 32 bit version on my PC (E6600 conroe)?

What does the OCUK site mean by includes info on obtaining the 64-bit version?? does that mean it doesnt come with it?

Have they sorted out the driver problems for the creative sound cards?

If i bought the retail version, would it be useless after the 2 changes idea that I heard before? Or will it be like XP where you can have several upgrades without buying a new license?

Thanks for any help

Do a search, plenty of threads on this.

Correct, you must get a 64bit disc from MS, costs about £7.

Have they sorted out the driver problems for the creative sound cards?

You mean have creative sorted their drivers out? Well they've done a full release, but they're not much better then the Betas.

With a retail licence you can have as many upgrades as you want.

Indeed, probably the most useful and yet most under used button on these forums

Yet when people do use the search function they'll find threads containing:

It's an unfair world.
