My understanding is that all Vista versions with the exception of the
Starter version will be 64 bit.   Since the 64 bit versions will run
on 32 bit hardware, I'm not sure what impact that will have on the
hardware market.

Both the Intel and AMD 64 bit hardware systems are more costly than the
older 32 bit ones.  That could also stifle sales somewhat.

Regards.
