Yeah, it's stupid isn't it!

If I get the OEM version, can I call MS and get them to send me a 64bit DVD for a small amount of money?

I heard there was a thing, where you talk to MS if you have a 32bit version of Vista and they can send you a 64bit version of it, for like £7 or something..

I've never heard of that, but why would you get 32 bit in the first place?

And to answer your previous question, replacing the CPU wont require you to re-activate. However if you change motherboards then most likely you will need to re-install (and re-activate), Windows, but possibly not if it's the same chipset.

Oh right, maybe it was somebody talking BS then
32 bit, because it's more compatable...
I'm seriously confused now, I don't know, 32bit or 64bit, If I can get a wireless reciever to work, then I'd get 64bit! oh, and all my games work!

I just need to know the answer to this question, then I'm done

This Linksys one, is apparently supported.
It uses the RT2500 chipset, so, If I'm right, On this page:

http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Hom...t/Windows.html

I'd download the second set of the drivers, the ones?

Do you guys think this will work?
If not them I'm really considering getting 32bit...

If a company has drivers out for Vista, most likely they will have one for both versions. If your going to spend the money on Vista, at least get one thats a bit more future proof.

They don't have drivers for 64bit apparently, but people have said that these http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...VisitorWrapper would work with it, but I'm not too sure.

I don't want to buy it and find out that I don't have the internet...

Most people that have a linksys card use Ralink drivers since Ralink makes most of the linksys cards.
