Whats the diffrence Between?

32bit and 64 bit because im downloading win vista ultimate idk which do i choose . for my comp

64bit is way too much better :)

The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.

You NEED to download the version that works with your CPU. To find out if you're running 64 or 32:

Open System by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking System.

Under System, you can view the system type. If 32-bit, download the 32-bit version, same goes for the 64 bit.

Why are you downloading Vista? Its pretty crappy.

There are Windows 7 downloads all over the web now. I would suggest that.

To find the 32/64 bit information on XP or older uses this method...
