I finally broke down and bought a laptop since mine was stolen over the weekend. Its an Athlon 64 ... I remember reading awhile back here on RP that there was a 64 bit version of Windows floating around .. and that it was free can someone confirm or deny?

Can't you trade in any legit version of a 32bit copy for a 64bit copy?
