Hello--
I recently purchased an additional 2gb of memory for my pc. I then realized
that windows only displays about 3gb of that 4gb. I began researching it,
and found out about the 32-bit versions and their issues with 4gb of memory.
Now, I orignally purchased the windows vista premium upgrade to upgrade my
windows xp media center edition. I also have a bran-new windows xp 64 OS
that I could install. Here's my question: I know that if you buy the full
versions of Vista that they come with both 32 and 64 bit versions. Is there
any way to purchase the 64-bit disk if I already have the 32-bit version and
use my key? If not, can I send in my 32-bit upgrade version for the 64 one?
I would like to format my pc, install my new windows xp 64 and then upgrade
to the windows vista premium 64 so that I may see all 4gb of my memory.
Thanks for any help!!!
