    You the CD for $5 from any store (32 bit only I think) and the 64 bit from Microsoft. But that does not include a license, so no this isn't a $5 Vista deal.

    Also, keep in mind that you can't upgrade from a 32bit version of Vista to a 64bit version... Vista Anytime upgrade is supposed to be an upgrade so I'm not sure if that would cause you problems or not...

    My understanding is I have a 32bit vista, I can get a 64 bit vista in $5. They can use the same key. Is that right?

    You can do that with retail licenses, and not OEM ones (what comes with the PC).
