hi

im after some operating system software and would like vista but unsure what i need 32bit or 64bit?

this is my spec if i got vista is it best to get the oem version of ocuk?


e6300
bfg8800gts 320mb
ocz 2 gig
gigabyte ds4


cheers :)
 
you can get either, but you might as well go 64-bit considering you've got a 64-bit CPU

plus Vista that version supports 4GB of RAM.

Just get the OEM version, it is cheaper after all.

If you think you're system is going to last the life of vista then buy the oem, however if you plan to upgrade your system before the next os is out then i would get the full retail version.

You also get both versions with the retail version so you can go with 32 or 64 bit.

I for one will be getting the retail version as i tend to upgrade parts on a regular basis. I'm sure if you do a search on these forums that you'll get a more comprehensive answer but as far as i'm aware oem could be more than a bit dodgy for regular upgraders.
 
when building my pc should i just use the drivers that come in the box with the products and then once all running update them one by one?

or will there be problems with the vista and old drivers?

cheers
 
I'd download the latest vista drivers for your all of your hardware first and burn a driver disk. The ones out of the box will likely be very old and may not even have vista drivers on them.
