Vista 32bit to Vista 64bit (Ultimate Updrade Version)

Hi,

I have a couple of questions.

I recently upgraded from XP Pro (full retail) to Vista Ultimate 32 bit
(in-place upgrade).

1. Can I used the included 64bit DVD to upgrade to Vista 64bit? I realise
that this will not be an in-place upgrade, but effectively a clean install.
I just need to know if it's possible before I try.

2. Other than the ability to address more than 4Gb, is there any serious
advantage to doing this?

My sytstem is;

Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
AMD Athalon FX 60 Dual Core 2.6 Ghz
Nvidia G-Force 7900 GTX x 2 in SLI Config
2Gb Corsair CMX1024-3200C2PRO (with a further 2Gb standing by)
Creative X-Fi Pro

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards
Brian.

 

1. Yes 2. No, unless you have native 64-bit software. Some software and
hardware are not compatible with 64-bit due to drivers.

 

John,

Thanks for that. I will save myself the pain of wading through 63bit driver
hell and stick with my working 32bit version!

Regards
Brian
