Nope! But you'll be alright, some opportunity to upgrade will come and you just take it. :)

You know I wonder how long it will take before ALL PC's will be 64bit? I am guessing 5years

I could install Windows XP x64 edition, but there's still isn't ALL drivers for my hardware (the laptop itslef has everything, but my webcam, my printer, my camera, etc...). And I don't see the actual need for a new 64-bit system. Home users have no need to work with larger than 4GB RAM yet.

I firmly believe Microsoft will use Vista to push 64bit more, maybe with some differences between the two editions OR longer support for the 64bit version.

I am using an AMD 64 CPU too, but with 64bit windows of course. I dont play a lot of games, but the ones I like more work pretty fine.

64bit windows is only really ment to benifit you if you have 2GB of ram or more which I dont have :D I will end up buying some more for Vista though becuase I have a feeling it will need it!
