Thanks for the replies guys. I'm actually wondering if the 'Windows Anytime Upgrade' would work for this...though I dont plan on upgrading out of Home Premium if I dont have to. The main issue I have is that IF something happens and I cant get Vista64 to work, I'll lose my Home Premium as there's no OS install, no driver install, no cd. I wonder if the 64/32 bit options can be done via Anytime Upgrade...

lambros: I'm hoping to find a way where I dont have to purchase a new full Vista OS...I wont be dual-booting, so maybe I can avoid that.

carlangas: I'll try to find those SATA drivers on the site. Thanks. Unfortunately, there is no cd to speak of right now that has a Vista install on it. I do want to stay Vista...as even tho it may not run as fast, M$oft will eventually stop support on XP64 and drivers could get even harder to find in the future.

sasa: Only partly true. SP1 allows it to display the amount of RAM on the machine correctly...however, it still doesn't use the memory for anything. Maxes out at around 3.2-3.5 GB.
