What I need 32 Bit or 64 Bit

[Guest]

Hi,
I would like to know which version i have to buy, 32 Bit or 64 Bit?

I have a Dell, Geneuine Intel CPU, T2050 1.60GHz 798Mhz.
Processor x86 Family 6 Model 14 Stepping 8 GenuineIntel ~1596 Mhz

Appreciate any help, thanks!

You don't *have* to buy anything.
But Vista 32 bit would match your CPU just fine.

The x86 means 32-bit. You can only use a 32-bit version and the 64-bit
version will not run on your processor.

You processor is a 32Bit processor, so you would need the 32Bit version
of Vista.

even if you did have a 64 cpu, there is a 64 bit installation disc that
comes with the 32-bit installation disc, though to be honest im not sure
about the OEM version, just the retails

the liscence is only for one particular version... 32 or 64 bit. not both...

As in: the license is for one installation on one computer only; one can
choose whether it is the 32 or 64 bit version.

Squibbly:
For your information both x86 & x64 disks only come with Ultimate
full or upgrade editions, other versions the x64 disk has to be ordered
separately. OEM versions are sold either x86 or x64. Refer to:

for ordering information. Have a great day.
