I now here that it will only contain the 32bit version and if you require
the 64bit version it will be provided upon request. Is this corect?

Also will the Key that is provided work for both 32bit and 64bit?

I had not heard that...though I would not be surprised. Where did you find
that out?

Colin mentioned it a few days ago. I saw it today via this newsgroup on
webpage. Just wanted it confirmed.

On our local messageboards someone said that the key will only work for the
32 bit version. But i thought that was wrong. Wanted to find out from here..

Last I checked the boxes would come with both the 32-bit and 64-bit
versions. The key would work on both versions.

You didn't check recently enough. Only x86 is in the box. You have to
order x64.

You got that one right.

According to Darrell Gorter's reply to me in this ng, BOTH x86 and x64 dvd's
will be in the FULL edition sku. It is likely that it is the UPGRADE
edition sku that will only contain the x86 dvd, with instructions for XP Pro
x64 users on how to obtain an x64 upgrade edition dvd.
 
Correct. For the full edition. We have not had confirmation on the upgrade
edition, but I suspect that it is the UE that may only have x86 and
instructions for x64.
