vista 64 bit and 32 bit versions

[puffling3]

i was browsing on websites looking at versions of windows vista, and they never told you if they were 64 or 32 bit versions, there was always just 1 ultimate, 1home basic, 1 business, and 1 home premium. there was never anything that said if it was 64 or 32 bit.
are the 32 and 64 bit versions in the same box?

32 and 64 bit versions in the same box?

No
The 32bit is for a 32bit CPU/computer, same goes for 64

 

[puffling3]

yes, but all the websites didnt specify if the version was 32 or 64 bit so you didnt know which one you were ordering
does anyone have any info on that?

towards the bottom of the page there are 64 bit versions, but they are for system builders
is there a difference between the version for system builders and the regular version, as in does the one for system builders still include a manual?

Vista will be released after midnight 01/30/07 est. preinstalled on all new prebuilt desktop models Microsoft even used people dressed in costoms swinging on ropes against the side of a building to simulate a Vista desktop. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Business/story?id=2832039&page=1

It's weird, but on Newegg there are tons of reviews and it seems like they already got them a few days ago...

That's because magazines like PC Mag, PC World, and others have to have time to write articles on the new OS. Microsoft like other manufacturers will send free copies to authors to see reviews written on their products. Along with that don't forget the beta versions have been out for a good period of time now for a look at the latest version.
