What version of Vista ships with XPS 730 - 32 bit or 64 bit?

32 bit will be shipped.

its probably better to have the 32 bit version, as dell say they do not have all the drivers in 64 bit. remember if you buy a 4 gb machine and dual graphic cards, the system takes 2 gb of the 4. vista then tell you only have 2 gb's to play with. unfortunately, dell only sell a max of 4 gb with the 730 and i am told anything greater, you need a 64 bit op system to utilise the extra memory.

Hi Cryblsaj

 

When receive your XPS 730 and you can upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit from dell for free. :smileyvery-happy:
