    I'm in the market to purchase the new Sager 2090. However, I don't want to make the move to Vista quite yet. So, my alternative is XP Professional. Now, I had e-mailed Justin from Xotic PC to ask him if XP Professional they offered was 64 Bit. Unforutnately, it is not. Does anybody know where I can get 64 Bit? If I purchase the standard XP Professional 32 Bit from Xotic PC, will I then have to buy a whole new Professional for 64 Bit? Thanks in advance.

    Unlike Vista (which comes with 32bit & 64 bit versions) XP was sold separately in 32bit (normal) and 64 bit versions. If you want both you'll have to pay for both. :(

    Microsoft used to have a free license trade up from 32bit -> 64bit, but I'm not sure they are doing that since Vista was released.
