Can anybody tell me How can I install vista 64 home premium?
I have xp 32 bit on my computer, and I used the upgrade advice manager from Microsoft, and it tells me my system is compatible with vista. Thank you for any help you can provide, and this is my system info.

To change from 32 bit OS to 64 bit, a clean installation is necessary. Please backup all important data before doing anything because you will have to format the HDD during installation. Boot up the computer with your OS disk and follow the instruction step by step.

Note: if you are using some older copy of OS CD, you may have to remove 2 Gig of rams before installation and put them back after installation and window updates are completed. I would remove them regardless to save trouble. Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks for the advice, I will start the installation right away!!
The Vista version is brand new, and is a 64 bit oem. I have the cd that came with my motherboard, and includes the 64 bit drive for vista so that should make things easier!!
Thanks again and I let you know how is going.
