    I am going to order a T61p, I want to use vista 64bit with 4G memory and xp with duo boot. On Lenovo's web now can choice 32 bit or 64 bit vista. Is that better to choose vista 64 bit pre-installed?

    well i got 64 bit now and i can still run old softwares that were made ages ago.

    Plus the most important thing is that if u get 32 bit only 3gb of ram will be used

    64 bit = 4gb of ram

    This is very interesting! Did you find any incompatible? Did you order the notebook with 64bit installed? If you install after it arrived, can the lenovo drivers work well with 64 bit?
