Bill,

I guess you hijacked your own thread, wasn't the subject "create a
boot-able disk from an iso file"?

I also suppose you want the desktop edition for your notebook. But I
could be wrong.

Simple rule:

More than 3.5 GB RAM memory -> 64 bit system

(Although I have a 2 GB station that runs happily on 64, installed by mistake)

As for special instructions regarding laptops installs, better put
them on the table because they tend to warm your lap and people say it
isn't good for your... sorry, too much OT...
