No, only Vista Ultimate Retail comes with both 32 and 64 bit disks, Premium and Basic only come with 32 bit.

OEM 32 bit keys are not valid for the upgrade from MS.

Well, 90% of all questions have been answered, so why bother posting at all? Some people search and don't find the results they want. Some people know how to search better than others. Some are lazy too.

If I wanted to google an answer, I would use google. Nobody is forcing you to read these posts. With the effort you put forth in rebuking the poster, you could have easily answered their question, or just closed the window and moved on.

so what if they didn't search first, you still shouldn't be rude to another member about it and JUST HELP THEM instead of getting all rude about it
that kind of attitude just makes members feel unwelcome to post here
and thus they will go to another place where they are not treated like cr@p for asking a question they wanted help with that's why you help them - doesn't matter if its been asked 50,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times you still be nice to members and HELP not send them somewhere else

There is a reason topics get closed. There is a reason why there are rules. There is a reason why there is a search function.

Learn how to use them. It's that simple.

So what forum are you a mod on? I need to make sure I don't go there.

In all honesty, I'm sorry if I came off as a huge prick. That was not my intention at all. I just really think if people spent a few more seconds searching properly, they would find out the answer for themselves. I actually believe they would find the answer faster than several members answering for them with a bunch of different answers.

Did you notice there are answers of yes, no, I don't know, and maybe? How exactly does all of that help? I'm sorry if I was an ass, but sometimes it really does help if the OP spent a little more time searching.

You are half right, you CAN upgrade hardware, you just cant upgrade the motherboard, however you can replace the motherboard due to hardware failure with the same model motherboard again.

Yes, and did you read any of the searched threads? Same answers, so how does that help?

Yes search is there for a reason. You can help people by searching and posting up the links withough being a jerk about it. There are all levels of internet/forum usesr out there. Sometimes people google for an answer and are lead here, the googled link does not answer their question, so they register and ask, then get flamed for asking, then never come back. It is not that hard to be nice. It is actually easier than being mean.

yes i agree he should be NICE to the member instead of being a total jerk
members like him really need to be banned they just make OCN community look like a bunch of jerks, when this is not true, just he is
and what was them hackintosh websites thinking for letting him be a forum editor, he probably deletes threads like these and make more users feel unwelcome or goes off them for a little thing mistake, rofl, his extra rights on them forums wont last long if he acts this way on them forums to
and he wont last long as a member of this forum as well, he will eventually be banned or leave when he is told of by allot of people for being a jerk

Ah, so I should be banned for simply telling someone to search instead of post a new thread?

That makes complete sense!
