Hi all!

I recently built myself a PC for the very first time in my life and installed on it an OEM copy of Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. However, due to the RAM restraints in place on the 32-bit version, I am looking to upgrade to Home Premium 64-bit.

If I were to obtain an OEM copy of the 64-bit operating system, would that allow me to format my hard drive and install that copy instead, or would it's OEMishness (I'm sure that's a word :D) prevent this in any way?
