I'm getting vista premium 64bit for 67quid, now what is the difference to the 32bit one? I know it sounds state the obvious but I'm not shure and are there many 64bit games out yet??

Cheers.

Gaming isn't going to matter wether you have 64 or 32 right now. In the future you are going to want 64, so get 64.

cam if i get an OEM vista, and replace my mobo, is their a way of getting another key so i can register, cos apparently microsoft claim that a new mobo is a new PC so OEM software is not valid? i heard u can get  1 or 2 new keys out  of them? true or false?

OEM you only get one key, but you get as many hardware changes as you want. Basically MS starts to question it when there are multiple IPs registered under the same CD key.

I have alwaies used OEM, and have never had a problem.

Win XP 64 is still plagued by driver problems after all this time it's been available.

I downloaded the VISTA release candidate in both 64bit and 32bit versions, the 64 bit one was useless, the 32 bit one has been running well. But that is only my experience with the pre-release versions.

Please let us know how it all works out, we need a few guinea pigs for Vista   ;)
