The point is that if you go to the big box stores or even Dell if you want
something more than a basic computer they have a 64 bit OS installed on
them.

Subject: Re: buying a 64 bit computer
Rather pointless. Just buy a computer with 32 bit windows. I
wouldn't hold my breath waiting on a 64-bit window-eyes. Why spend
money on an operating system you may not even need until your next
computer. Unless you're doing some really intense stuff, the extra
ram that the 64 bit o/s can use will never be used.

Are there any problems in purchasing a desktop computer that is configured
with a 64 bit OS and converting it back to a 32 bit OS so WE will work on
it. I would assume that I would have to purchase a new copy of Vista to do
this but this would at least allow me to be ready for a 64 bit version of
Window Eyes if and when it ever comes out.
I know that Vista 32 bit will only support a max of 3 Gig of Ram so would
assume that these 64 bit computers with more than 3 Gig of RAM would work
fine but not use the additional RAM.
