A while back when Vista was introduced, Microsoft had this program where you receive 64 bit windows cd for $10. Anyways, do I have to pay like $150 to get Vista Home Premium 64 bit from Vista Home Premium 32 bit?

No. The same key works on both versions, you just need to find a disc capable of installing the 64bit version.

I've moved to 64bit vista twice, each time, it's lasted about 24 hrs then a format.
Until creative can make a driver that works and i can have decent sound, not going to touch vista 64

Vista x64 working great here (6 months plus now)even with my Audigy drivers,remember there are a lot of people using Vista x64 with no problems.

You'll always get a few people with problems,same goes for XP,2K etc...

If you have a retail or upgrade 32 bit version, you can go here and get your 64 bit DVD mailed to you for $10.

Or, if you have the 32 bit OEM version, you can download the 64 bit upgrade version here for $154. Then you can use the key they generate to order your back up DVD from MS.
