Okay, here is the deal. I have two computers. My PC currently has a 64bit processor and Windows XP Professional x64, and my laptop has a 32bit processor and Windows XP Home x32.

I want to buy Windows Vista Ultimate and install it on my laptop, and have it run on 32bit mode on there, and then I want to put Windows Vista Ultimate on my PC and have it run on 64bit mode on there.

First, I don't know about how exactly it’s licensed, but basically, what I want to know is, first off, do I get the Windows Vista Ultimate upgrade, or do I have to buy the Windows Vista Ultimate Full. Second, if I go get one of those, can I use the same disk to install it on both of my computers under the different settings? If I can’t do any of that, what do you guys suggest I do?

Just buy the OEM version. Only one install per disc / purchase so you can't put it on 2 machines.

Yup, you need to buy two copies, one for each machine.
