Title says it all. I can't tell from my order list, it just says Vista.

The reason I asked is I noticed there are no 64 bit video drivers out. I assumed my 64 bit system would get a 64 bit OS, but maybe I assumed too much.

I would like to know before I click the "Accept software license" part of the install.

what is Hardy-x86_64?

they ship 32-bit version unless you specifically request 64-bit on the order, because most people need the backwards compatibility of 32-bit. generally through ordering online it doesn't give you the option to request 64-bit on the consumer systems, you have to ask for it specially in the order

Yes when you order a dell system UNLESS you ordered a business line mechine you will receive a 32-bit OS unless you call and request 64-bit.
