    My order shows
    42V8011 VBB MS WIN VISTA HOME PREMIUM
    42W7261 SBB MSWINVISTA H-PREM64 US ENG

    To me that implies 64bit. As usuall I'm having a difficult time talking to anyone within Lenovo that could answer me.

    1) Should I be concerned that whats on the way is in fact 64bit Vista Home Premium?
    2) Does Lenovo ship a dvd with the 32bit version with 64bit installed?

    A little help would be nice.

    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Did you install that from a separate CD or did 64 bit Vista Ultimate come factory installed from Lenovo?
