You wrote 64 bit in your sig and you're asking if it's x64 or not !
And that has nothing to do with which edition of Vista you choose, every edition has an x86 and x64 version

sorry .. that was 64bit extended memory .. EMT64 some im not too sure

EMT64 is the formal name used by intel for 64bit architecture

Did they even make 64-Bit 2.8Ghz P4's? I thought 3.0 was the lowest...

If your processor is 32-Bit, you need to buy the 32-Bit version of Vista. Im not sure if there will only be one, or if they will have 32-Bit versions of every Vista edition.

Just download and run CPU-Z, it will tell you if your CPU support EM64T or not

it says EM64T .. so will the Home Premiun work well on my Pc ?

from what I have read, prememium just seems like a waste of money. Considering all that extra crap that comes with it, there are like tons of open source, and better apps out there, plus tons of close source third party apps that you wouldn't need any of it. Unless you wanted to connect to a domain or use any enterprise solution then you would need the version that installs that, which is either ultimate or corporate (can't remember)

it should do. you might even be able to use aero. you might want to upgrade your ram though
