OT--Windows Vista Problem

You're right, I didn't word my post correctly. When I bought the one upgrade
I have it had both 32 & 64 disks included and I assumed all versions on MS
would be the same.
The thing that makes me wonder about is the ones on ebay posted as 32 bit
only.

OEM copies don't give you both 32-bit and 64-bit discs.

That may be what they have at the link above. I got an email reply from
ultimatesteal saying I'd have a choice of 32 bit or 64 bit at purchase time.
Now all I have to do is get me email addy at edu in place and I'm golden.
Thanks,
Dave
