    I am going to order a M1530 with Vista Ultimate but I want the 64 bit version. Does dell supply that with Vista Ultimate. I thought I read somewhere that Vista Ultimate is both 32 and 64 bit on the DVD but I could be wrong. Let me know

    Thanks

    The retail version includes both 32 and 64 bit discs, and they use the same activation number.

    You can order the 1330 with 64 bit, if there is no place to order 64 bit on the website for the 1530 then maybe ask a sales person. Maybe they can order it with the 64 bit version. Otherwise, you can ask Dell for it after you order it. Please search the forum because there are many threads detailing how to get 64 bit.
