    very general questions. only asking for tips of what to do when upgrading my vista basic 32bit, to business 64bit. if such thread already exist please link me to it. thanks. am posting this in the dell section only because my laptop is a vostro 1400.

    1, does vostro 1400 support 64bit vista?
    2, instead of deleting vista basic, does vista allow upgrade to business without reinstall?
    3, the driver CD that came with the computer, can it be used even on a different operating system?
    4, does overclocking the GPU void dell's warrenty?

    please excuse these newbie questions, I have not reinstalled a system myself before. if there are some precaution i need to consider, please tell me. thank you for your help
