I ordered from Amazon the Windows Vista Ultimate edition and when I got the package from Amazon, inside there were TWO DVD disks one being 32 bit and the other 64bit.
Now I don't know nor can I verify that ALL Microsoft packaging contains both DVD disks...but mine did.
I have a 64 bit system, but installed the 32 bit DVD due to my "BELIEF" that there was MORE driver support for the 32 bit...but I'm still waiting on good Nvidia drivers which won't crash like the current latest beta drivers from Nvidia.
I hope that answered your question.
I do have on order a Business Vista OEM version edition waiting to be shipped out and delivered. I had a choice between 32 bit or 64 bit. I ordered the 64 bit, but I HOPE that they send me both DVD's. I don't expect it, but will just await and see.
The two DVD's (both 32 bit and 64 bit versions) from Amazon was a pleasant surprise.
I am thinking about buying a new computer and I see them advertise as 32 bit and 64 bit Vista's Is there a deference. I thought all were 64 bit and backwords compatable to 32 bit. I understand the diferance between the different editions such as home and preium. Can anyone clarify this for me. Thanks
