so, currently im running 32 bit Vista home premium on my laptop, 3G RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 @ 1.83GHz
I would like to upgrade to 64 bit Win7 so that means i'd need to do the clean install once i get the download or disc or whatever right?

If you have a 32bit OS and want Win7 64bit. You will need to buy the disc. You can download it, but you will not be able to unbox the downloaded files, so you can't do jack.
At least that is latest that I have read. Digital River is getting users who had 32bit and bought the 64 thinking they could just download it, to call them. I figure they just give out refunds or make them pay for the disc.
I have XP and was planning on installing 64bit Win7. Waiting for my disc to arrive...
