I'm in the market for a new computer with Vista. I can't for the life
of me figure out if the Intel Core 2 Duo is a true 64 bit processor, a
fake one, or nothing at all to do with 32 bit.


It is 64 bit and backwards-compatible to run 32...

And then there are different versions of Vista. Supossedly, only the
"ultimate super premium" edition is true 64 bit.


And you would be interested in "Vista" because....?

Most knowledgeable people in my acquaintance are
avoiding it like the plague.


Yet my software company already has 4 clients who have bought Vista
machines and are struggling to get everything running. Gotta love those
early adopters.
