Vista x64 Disc?

(Sorry, I'm new to this forum and I am unsure if this is in the correct section - If the moderators could move it otherwise, I would be very greatful.)

Now,
Yesterday, I was searching forums for some x64 drivers when I saw someone post a link where I could purchase a spare x64 disc (I have a valid Ultimate OEM license) - Direct from Microsoft for around $5.

Searching my history I cannot find the link at all, and I am interested in purchasing the disk (I only have the x86 disk).

If anyone knows this link, or a place I can purchase this disk, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Jordan

No guarantee this will work for OEM, but...

Re: Vista x64 Disc?

Since you have the 32 bit OEM product you can not purchase the 64 bit disk
for the small amount like a user of the Retail Non Ultimate products can.
The Retail Ultimate product comes with both 32 bit and 64 bit DVDs.

Re: Vista x64 Disc?

This link applies to retail:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...a/default.mspx

AFAIK. there is no similar option for OEM.
Contact the seller for options but you may not have any with OEM other
than buying another license.
One of the many reasons you paid less for your OEM than others pay for
retail.
