64 bit Vista
So, I am currently running 32 bit Vista Business...and it is my understanding that my 32 bit key will work for 64 bit. The problem however is that I don't have the 64 bit media. I can order it off microsoft, but I'm worried that will take forever...kind of like ordering ubuntu disks from the ubuntu site. Does anyone have any other place that I can obtain a Vista Business 64 bit disk? Thanks in advance for any help.

well, i can order JUST the media from microsofts site if i type in my key...but I'm just worried it will take forever, and was wondering if there were any other options. most likely there arent, so I will probably end up just ordering it from there. I just dont wat to pay the 180 on newegg or something when i already have a perfectly good key.

99.9% of the time there is access to downloads from your university. Look into it.

I ordered my X64 disc through M$. It was like $9.00 for shipping and took about a week to get to me. Thats not bad considering I have a "upgrade" version and did not install it as one....
__________________Also you are correct your current key will work with the x64 version.
