Dont know if this is just myself being very silly, but I am very confused as to where to spend my £135 on Vista OEM.
I have a 64bit CPU so logic tells me to get the 64bit VISTA OEM. Logic tells me any compatibility issues with apps will be worked out and the WOW feature should be pretty rock solid by now and as for drivers, manufacturers should be releasing Vista capable 32bit drivers as we speak.
HOWEVER, my brain then kicks in and says, wait.... What if compatibility issues are not resolved and manufacturers do not support fully support 64bit? What about that old but usefull wi-fi card... only £10 for a new one, but is not the point.
I then think, i'll get the 32bit VISTA OEM then think, hang on, isnt that a little silly spending £135 on a 32bit OS when 64bit will standard in a few years.. Or will it????
Also, if I replace my Motherboard in 2 years time, I presume I will need a new copy of Vista?
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
PLEASE HELP.
