Vista - Re: Another Vista Upgrade Question

No. Be sure to request an x64 dvd ($9.95 shipping) if you are not buying
Ultimate (it is include in the Ult. eds). Put it away until you decide to
switch. When you are ready, reinstall XP and activate it, then boot the
computer with the x64 dvd, enter the same product key you used for the x86
version, and proceed. You do not have to buy x64 separately. It is
included in the initial price but you may have to request the x64 dvd be
mailed to you.
