yeeeuh! does vista x64 look and different than vista x32?

yeah. it says x64 instead of x86, which is all important. more or less, the only real difference is that i'll be going 4GB in it eventually, therefore it helps to go x64 from the start.

i went AMD just to be different to my main rigs, helps that i got an AM3 compatible board - if they rock, i can swap this with my LAN rig :)

Only real advantage to AMD over intel in this instance, is that AMD cool and quiet actually saves power, whereas intel speedstep does absolutely nothing (tested it with my power meter)
