You would have to download the Vista Home Premium 64bit disc (OEM probably) and install from there.

fyi your comp rating would be a 4.8 after you bought that vid card, unless the card itself received a lower rating than your cpu.

^ lol that makes sense since it goes by the lowest score, I should have known that... thanks

I have upgraded my operating system lastnight/today, I'm now using windows 7 home premium 64bit just finally got finished with all the updates and installing the drivers ect, still iso some more opinions on a video card

I kept hinting about it, so my dad bought me a full version of windows 7 home premium 64bit when I first installed it I didn't delete the old partion so when I started the computer, it gave me an option to get into vista or 7 LOL so I called the tech department at support.microsoft and they guided me thru it, deleted the partitions, formatted and now 7 is on 64bit this operating system is SOOO nice but I still need a video card

Lol. Well done.

What games do you currently play or why games do you think you may want to play coming up?

well that's the thing, I'm just getting into all this computer gaming stuff and having only the on board graphics prevents me from playing most anything that is fairly new on the market
I have an open mind to do just about anything, I know my processor isn't the best in the world, but it's dual core 64bit capable and 2.00gh/z that's good enough for many games imo
and I have the 4 gigs of ram so that really helps, and now having win7 64 bit will help I'm sure, so any decent video card would be better than having only on board graphics, as I said I think the max I would pay
is around $150.00 that should be plenty imo, I just don't know which one to pick, there are so many to choose from

what case do you have?
most likely you have a small pos
250watt power supply that cant handle good gpus
