   One runs on a 32 bit processor and the other on a 64bit chip.

   If you have an AMDx64 for example, you can use the 64 bit version (it'll bump speed up a bit.)

   First let me say that I recommend you WAIT
   before going for Windows VISTA at least a year.
   It still is in its infancy, and may present some operating problems that need to be worked out.

   Ask yourself an imporant question:
   Are you running applications that require 32 or 64 bit speed?

   If you are determined to get Vista now
   read this:

   Don't just buy Vista because it's new and cool…you may not really be ready for it.
   Right now, XP with SP2 is running smooth and fast.
   Do you really need more?
