Can you order a 64bit CD?

This is possibly what you want: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...a/default.mspx (this link is for UK English (2057)) for anyone else you will probably want this one: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...a/default.mspx (US English (1033))

OEM will save you a good deal of money. I bought my Vista Home Premium 64bit for £70 which is about $137

Only $99 on newegg

I have the OEM version, is that a problem?

Also, Do you know how much it is?
