If you're installing onto that system you have, I'm not sure if your P4 supports 64-bit. Also, running Vista on an older P4 with 768mb ram wouldn't be a good experience. If I were you, I would upgrade before you get Vista.

Don't even bother with the 64 bit Vista. Unless you are running some high-end applications that require a 64bit OS, it's an utter waste of time. Oh yeah, P4's are not 64bit.

Make sure your new motherboard has vista drivers.

You need a new CPU too, P4's are no good for Vista. They also don't support 64-bit.
