Upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit Why can't I get the Alternative Media Disc?
I'm sure that tons of people have tried to by clicking that link that allows you to upgrade to 64-bit by ordering a CD, but getting the "Offer not available" error. So if I do want to upgrade how can I? Do i have to buy anything? Please include steps to do so.

A 64-bit OS is better than 32-bit because:
- It effectively doubles system capabilities if the system is running a 64-bit processor.
- More information can be sent at one time on a 64-bit system than on a 32-bit system. It's great for data-intensive programs.
- You can run some 32-bit apps on a 64-bit operating system, much like you can run a 16-bit app on Windows XP.

To Tinue - Did you have a chance to try the 64-bit media with the Dell system? Did it require phone activation?
Just to clarify, the 64-bit Vista anytime upgrade disc will allow you to do a clean install and then you use your 25 character key to activate it??
Thanks
