I am running vista premium 32bit and need to upgrade to 64bit. Is this the right one to do that.

There is no direct upgrade available for 32 bit to 64 bit OS. The Vista 64 Home Premium OEM OS you have linked will have to be installed as a new installation totally independent of your current Vista 32 OS.

Imagine that i7 920 would access that Raptor dry LOL. I have the WD 640, but I'm not using at the moment. I had Windows Home Server on there until recently. Acted like a good unit. Never benchmarked it. My 150 gig Raptor on this machine peaks at something like 83 MB/sec. transfer. The Velociraptor would be higher than that. Cost a lot. I should of benched the WD 640 before I took it down. My common WD 250 Sata drive gets 55 GB/sec. or so peak. The 640 would rate somewhere between my two drives.
