Hey guys
I wanna know an easy way to figure out the type of processor/OS i am running. I have the msdn subscription and i downloaded windows vista (x64) but after i burned the image and all it says that my OS is not compatible with 64 bit.

I also want to know if microsoft will be releasing (x32) because all i see at msdn is x64 and x86

I tried to run the windows vista upgrade advisor to see if my laptop passed all the requirements. Everytime i run that program my laptop freezes and turns off.

I have a (centrino) Hp Pavilion dv 4000
Intel (R) Pentium (R) M
processor 1.73 GHz
0.99 GB of RAM

X86 is the 32 bit version and is running parallel with the 64 bit. I am not an MSDN subscriber, but I am not sure if you can download a further full release version of Vista now. Another reader can probably confirm that. Your processor is a 32 bit. and rather slow for satisfactory use of Vista.
