Forum Windows Vista : General Discussion Help with Vista 64bit

Word :    Username :           
 

Shortly, I will be installing Vista Ultimate 64 bit on my computer. I am currently running Vista Ultimate 32bit, but now want to install the 64bit system. My computer is home built with the following:

Motherboard – ASUS P5K deluxe wifi
CPU – Intel core 2 duo E6750
Video Card – PCI VisionTek Radeon X1300
Memory – 4 GB DDR2
Hard drive – Sata 500 GB with 250 GB Sata backup
Power Supply – 750 Watt
CD/DVDs – 2 drives

I have used the backup program that came with Vista for my 250 GB HD. The question is – will I be able to retrieve my backup info on my 250 GB HD with Vista Ultimate 64 bit? Is there anything else that I need to consider?
