Hi Shirl,

In the Start Menu, right click on Computer and click Properties. You should see what bit you have to the left of "System type:" under the System section.

Click Start > right click 'Computer' > click Properties > you will see at
the top of the page which platform you are running whether it is 32 or 64
bit.

Shirl,

The Windows Anytime upgrade is the 32 bit version of Vista. You have a 64 bit processor that will work fine with the 32 bit Vista. With the 64 bit processor you have the option to upgrade to the 64 bit version of Vista when you like. You wouldn't be able to do this if you had a 32 bit processor.

These tips will help you improve the performance of Vista. Just do the ones that you feel comfortable doing.
