	I use my key on 32 bit and 64 bit but looks like OEM ones only work for either or so in jodi's case, apart from his processor it will only work with the correct version.

[Edited on 16-02-2009 by John] Yes it does, but it doesn't work. Try it!

	No from my experience John. Had the same problem on Vista and now SBS 2008. The keys are different on volume license. Again, tried and tested.

	64-bit will only run on a 64-bit CPU. The sticker on the bottom of your laptop with either be 32-bit or 64-bit. You cannot use a 32-bit Product key with a 64-bit OS. I found the 64-bit OS rubbish and went back to 32-bit. A lot of applications would not run on the 64-bit OS. Having the sa serme issue with one of my servers too. Exchange 2007 requires 64-bit OS but a lot off applications such as Symantec Endpoint will only run on 32-bit. It's rubbish! Need to source another box now to run a few appplications on.

	quote: Originally posted by Russ if its called x86-64 its probably just x86 that will also work on 64bit cpus.. so wil be ifne no, x86-64 is the name given to the 64bit instruction set based on the x86 processor architecture, which the majority of modern processors are (Core Duo, Quad etc). All it means is that it isn't a straight 64bit processor, instead it still has the 32/16bit instruction sets allowing for backwards compatibility with older applications. So if the copy of vista is label as x86-64 then it's likey that it's a 64bit version. Although usually Vista is labeled as either Vista x86 or Vista x64.

	Yup, only 64bit CPUs are backwards compatiable with 32bit OS's, so you'll need a 32bit version of Vista. [Edited on 16-02-2009 by Dom]

	The 64 bit won't run on a 32 bit system.
_Allan_	posted on 16th Feb 09 at 13:59
	Pretty sure you can but why not just get the 32bit version in the first place?.

	I proper fucked my laptop and lost the disk, but luckly I have the serial number stuck on the bottom So downloading an copy of vista but will x86-64 run on a 32bit system?
