    hi,
    I stumbled onto this forum. Great Site!!! I'm planning to buy a Gigabyte mobo, and install Vista x64 on it.

    After reading thru serveral methods of activating Vista, i'm planning to use the Hard Flashing of BIOS method. Seems like a good long term solution...

    Can you guys advice, what do I actually need? Do I need a OEM copy of Vista? Or any copy do?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the tips. But i'm still rather confused.
    I'm planning to buy the Gigabyte mobo: EP35-DS3. Its using the Award BIOS.

    -Where can find the cert.?
    -Do i need to register with the cert. and key everytime i do a clean install?
    -Do i need an OEM disc instead of a retail one? Or are there no difference between all the versions since there are only one kind of Vista disc?

    Thanks
