Just got Windows Vista Home Premium and looking though Quick start Guide booklet have realised its the 32bit edition only.

Now I have a AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual-Core Processor running on a ASUS A8N
-SLI DELUX MOBO with 2GB Memory. So I think yes I need to get onto MS and obtain the 64bit Edition which you can obtain from them for a small delivery charge.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY!!!

By the way, I got onto Micosoft and they wanted to charge me £40 for the ANSWER!! They must be taking taking the P...

You actually rang Microsoft to ask them if your Athlon 64 CPU is 64-bit? :p :eek:
