Is Vista Home Premium a true 64 bit OS?

[bartonc]

Or is it more of a dual-mode 32/64-bit thing?

[epots9]

my understanding of vista is that if u buy the retail version (from bestbuy, etc.) it comes with 2 dvds a 32bit version and a 64bit one. as far as how well the 64bit functions is unknown to me cuz nothing works with any version of the 64bit vista(s).

I don't know if this is country-dependant, but I can only buy 32-bit and 64-bit seperate.

thats usually when you buy from stores like tigerdirect. the retail version comes in that wierd looking box and both dvds

When installing please read what is says on your CD/DVD Media, it will say either 32bit or 64bit. Good luck,

P.S.
And yes if it says 64bit on the CD/DVD media then it truly is a 64bit operating system otherwise Microsoft would be sued for false advertising.
