Do the retail packages of Vista come in 64-bit?
Reason i'm asking is that I can get the retail version at my college for $199, but i can't find any about 32-bit or 64-bit on the box. Is the retail version different than the OEM version in this respect?

199 from your college??? Don't you pay a technology fee and they give you that crap for free? Mine always did, granted at the time I only got xp and office xp out of it.

The OEM versions usually are sold seprately. Might want to confirm this though.

The OEMs are always separate; you either buy the 32 or the 64 bit.
__________________I know for sure, that Ultimate comes with both CDs. If you choose any other edition, go here to request the other bit edition.

Only Ultimate comes with the 64 bit Cd. The other versions if retail have information on getting it.

Ultimate comes with both 32 and 64 bit, the other version are individual. But if you buy 32 then you can order the 64 bit dvd from MS for $10 or $15.

Ultimate is the only one where you get everything. For the others, you have to pay extra money to order the 64-bit version through microsoft.
