Does it come with both 32 and x64? I went to best buy's website because I'm considering buying it but it doesn't specify if it's 32 or 64.

no it is one or the other. I would assume if it doesn't say it is the 32bit version.

I think ultimate is the only one that comes with both.

If you can wait...why not buy it from newegg or some other store that advertises it as being 64 or 32 bit.

I'll end up doing that if best buy doesn't have x64. I was just wondering because they didn't advertise it on their website.

And it's over priced.

Dell sent me the 32 bit version of Home Premium with my Core 2 Duo laptop. So I just went to a torrent site and downloaded the 64 bit version and installed that instead. And when it asked me for my validation code I put the one that came with the Dell 32 bit CD and it worked fine for me.

Just another option if the 64 bit version cost more or if you opened it and you cant bring back.
