Question by Union of Life: Where do I get a 64 bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium?
Where do I get a 64 bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium?
I can only find a 64 bit “system builders” type on Amazon & Newegg and only a 32 bit retail version. I need a 64 bit to be able to access more RAM.
P.S. I am building a my first “3″ gaming computers for myself and some family members. Do I choose the “system builders” version? Because I am, in a way “building”.
Thanks in advance,
Union

Try Microsoft themselves.
Staples
Worst…I mean Best Buy
Office Max
Found at Newegg get this as you are building three, even if building one get it.
you have to buy a computer with 4 gigs of ram
Use Newegg. Choose the system builders version. That’s what I did!
I would try out Tigerdirect.com. I have purchased many products through them in the past and allways had great success. Their have great customer service, fast shipping, and all their production are legit.
If you are building a serious gaming pc use xp, you will get much higher frame rates.
Right now I run an extreme I7 over clocked to 4.8 Ghz, 12gigs of DDR3 1066, 2.5 TB of HDD space, Tri Sli GTX 260′s(which i bought a few days before the new ones came out……), Water cooling which i bought random parts for a put together (cools the cards too
)
btw: If they are not really serious gaming rigs 3 gigs of ram will do you fine
. Just make sure to get fast ram.
Do not buy it from Staples, best buy, or anything like that they charge way way too much.

. Ordered some GTX 295s today 
ebay
system builders duh, get it off newegg like $ 90, I got vista home premium 64 from them a year ago and it’s fine
the reason you’d get higher frame rates with XP is cause it does not support DX10 therefore the graphics aren’t as good
