Is this possible? I've red both yes and no to this question in my searching.
I have XP 64 and would like to transition to Vista 64 for Direct X 10, etc.
Need to know if I should bother downloading it or give up.

| Vista Ultimate x64 is the best OS I've ever used. |

Me too, and it's all thanks to you Mr. Eamo
On my way to Yongsan, but it's a big maze - hopefully can find that Sapphire 4850 in the jungle. |

Traxxe, it should work if you set your PC in the BIOS to boot from CD-ROM. Then put in the Vista x64 disc, restart, and when prompted, boot from CD.
Pooty, My pleasure. Welcome to the world of realists who use Vista and know it's good. |

230,000Krw - but this purchase was "off the books" because I didn't want my wife to know about it, therefore I couldn't use my credit card...had to use the black money fund. If I'd just been willing to wait and order online, I could've saved about 20-30 bucks.  |
