^ Exactly. Use a usb drive or cd, or better yet, you have a router at your home or where ever you're trying to do this? Make a shared folder and transfer it over your network.
This was before I actually built a computer.. I tried upgrading an e-machine with a 32mb ati radeon graphics card. At the time I had no idea what agp and pci slots were. I tried for atleast 15 minutes to get that agp card into a pci slot thinking that the case was built wrong. Frustration level hit an all new high.
Costs for building a computer vary depending on who does it. Geeksquad is a joke, never heard of Firedog. Honestly though, the time you're going to end up spending here figuring out what you're going to do, you will have spent enough time here to actually build your own computer, and probably learn a few things. Don't be intimidated by the words "build a computer". It's not hard at all.
Well I dont see any point to upgrading to 64 bit from 32 bit vista,right now there isnt any software taking advantage of 64 bit processor yet. lets say in 4-5 year developer will be making more 64 bit software including games that will take advantage of 64 bit. if you have 2gb of ram right now right? unless ur planing on upgrading to 4gb of ram then I might suggest you get 64 bit version of vista and not to say there are some driver issue with vista 64 bit still, So basically if do get vista 64 bit and 4gb of ram you might have trouble overclocking your cpu because u r using 4 sticks of memory stick in your mother board putting more preasure on the mobo causeing more heat you might have to bump your North B voltage and cpu.
As for my self I do have both copys of vista ultimate 32 bit\64 bit.

You don't have to have 4 sticks of ram to have 4gbs. 2x2gb or 1x4gb (yes there's 4gb sticks now).
Here's a good article for those who want to differentiate actual perfmorance differences between 32 and 64 bit versions: http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/15/vista_workshop/
Only real reason to use any 64bit OS is if you have over 3gbs of ram. Other than that 32bit will do you just as good. Apparently vista has trouble installing with over 3gbs of ram on various motherboards (Have to install with under 3gbs, install update, then put the rest of your ram in).
