Should be able to order the 64bit DVD from MS and use the key that comes with your 32bit Vista.

You could also follow the sticky to do a fresh install with the Upgrade version. This way, it doesn't matter what platform of XP was installed before.

that's what i would do, a fresh install. it's a new pc, so i'd just be putting xp on there for upgrade purposes anyways. 20 bucks for the upgrade disk so I figured what the heck, might as well try it. thx for the help and quick answers
