Hi Mark

Dell only will install Vista 32 bit if you want 64 bit you will have to buy it retail

or OEM from outside of Dell !!

Good Luck !

 

Thanks - if I have the media does the Vista Dell License allow me to install it?

You really do not need the 64 bit OS at this time, but others like it because they think and hope it runs the programs much smoother, is a tad more secured than the 32 bit OS, not to mention that later on ( Years from now ) Microsoft will migrate to a fully 64 bit world, but now, you don't have to have it for your needs.

Hi

You can install any OS you want but if you have a

software problem Dell will not give you support for it !

But your hardware is still coverd !

Good Luck
