Vista - Installing Vista Home Premium 64bit on a newly built computer; question?

Hello,

I looked through the forum tutorials about doing a "clean installation" on a computer.
However, I don't think that was what I was looking for. It's easier for me to ask the question:

I'm planning on building my first computer, (technically 3 computers for 2 family members) .

I need to know if there is a tutorial/someone can assist me in installing Vista Home Premium 64bit OEM operating system?

I'm getting the OEM, parts, etc, from newegg. (if I can say this??)
Anyhow, I'm a bit confused on what to do in the bios of my motherboard for when the first time I boot up my computer and see if it comes to life.

I realize this isn't a computer tech forum, this is a Vista forum, but I thought that since my question was Vista related, someone could help me out?


Thank you,
Elition

If you are building your own computer than you are of course going to have
to perform a clean install.

Just set your boot order to boot first from DVD
and second from your harddrive...that's all there is to it

there are a lot of damn good books at the library. The one I would start
with is 64 vs. 32 bit OS.
Then you should know about drivers for your system. OR if you have a really
good friend
have he or she help you with the build. Putting a computer is pretty simple
according to
people who have never done it. Just read the instructions that come with the
motherboard and
you should be fine.

Alright, thanks guys. I didn't know if there was a difference compared with the clean install because the Tut was most likely talking about 'upgrading' a computer from XP to vista.


But now I know. Thanks for shedding some light on the subject.

As for updating all the parts in my computer.. how would I go about doing that?
Go to the manufactors website and see if I can find some drivers or something?

And I know the difference between 32 / 64 bit OS.

Thank you,
