Click Start , type system in the Start Search box, and then click system in the Programs list.

Look under system type.

Thanks for responding. All I can find is Vista Home Premium.

Go to the Welcome Center
In the top right, chose "Show More Details"

64 bit should look like:



(and before it gets said, look, I've only seen 5.9's across the boards on the QX9650 boxes, so 5.5 in a RAID 4TB setup isn't bad)

FOUND IT!!! 32 Bit

Thanks all!

Just so you know, as an FYI, you can order 64 bit media from MS for a very small fee (like $10) as your same product key you use for 32 bit is valid as a 64bit product key, and can be activated. Just an FYI.

Right now, though, most things have performance issues in 64bit Vista, and Vista is always a step slower then 32bit (due to drivers and WOW management for 32bit apps)
