you can use the 64bit but its no use. but if i were you, if you download a sp1 vista, and you want to vlite it. get rid of some of the programs that take up space like tabletpc and speech recog. when i installed vista i removed the uac and a lot of drivers and language packs that i didnt need and that saved me about 2 - 5 gigs. i know that some people remove a lot of programs to get the vista dvd down to a cd. the less crap you install for vista the better and faster it is.
i have a 64bit vista and it has not crashed once yet. yet xp sp3 constanly crash my brothers computer all the time.
How would I do that? It sounds interesting, because honestly, I don't need all that crap either. (Speech recognition? Useless for me)

Vista is slow if you have a computer that still running a pentium 3 and 128 mb of ram.
lol the comp won't even accept the disc.
@op: how bout this? u post us the specs, and tell u if it can handle vista decently. dunno y i didn't think of that earlier.
EDIT: 2gigs of ram? son don't even think about gaming (unless u turn like everything off before u do. and i mean everything)
I never said I was gonna use it for gaming. o-o; The only games I play are crappy MMO's that don't require a beefy computer, such as MapleStory (which I don't even play anymore) or Ragnarok (same). It's not like I'm trying to run Crysis here >__>;

And keep your files? No. You'll have to do a fresh install of XP, if that becomes the case. You could in the mean time clean up your main hard drive by moving files to the external, partition it and install Vista on that new partition to try it out.
