Official Vista "performance" and "compatibility" packs released

That's going to be quite soon, if you don't think you could use 64 bit (in general) Vista atm, then I wouldn't get my hopes up about SP1. The problem is basically a lack of 3rd party drivers, especially 64 bit.

Then I'll have to wait for Vista SP2 64-bit. :)

Seriously, why pay R3000 for Vista 32-bit & it's obsolete within two years?
 
MY VISTA HAS BOTH VERSIONS.i saw 32 bit and 64 bit on the disk,LET me check my disk to confirm this

AFAIK the retail version contain both version and you can install any version at any time, but only one running at a time. Therefore you can use 32 until 64 becomes better supported

As I understand it, the Vista key you purchase, will determine if you can install the 32-bit or 64-bit version. You can't have both.
 
Microsoft said:
You can order either of these alternate media for a minimal fee, including shipping and handling. To order, you'll need to supply the 25-character product key that came with your purchase.* You'll find the product key on a yellow sticker on the back of your DVD media holder.

Seems you have to pay a small fee to activate the 64 bit if you purchased the 32bit
 
Well thats BS imo, so you could happily use a crack for the 64 bit version to try it out, and buy a 32 bit key.
