    Hi all,

    Just a quick question, I recently purchased a G1S which came pre-installed with an OEM version of Vista Ultimate. I realise that the retail version of Vista Ultimate contains both 32 bits and 64 bits version on the same disc. Does anyone know if this applies to the OEM version? If so, how can I install the 64 bits onto my new laptop and try it out? Finally, can it be dual booted like XP?

    Sorry to be asking these noob question, haven't have time to learn yet another OS.

    Thanks!

    MM

    yes, you can dual boot with XP, Ubuntu, or any other OS.

    no, your OEM copy only comes with the license for 32bit
