The question I have is about the OS
Operating system.

I want windows XP and the 64 bit edition but i can only seem to find OEM versions of the OS that says its for builders to resale the product....
Can someone explain what OEM means in common English?
Will this operating system work properly with my computer being that is is OEM?
I was reading and some articles / reviews were talking about software issues with XP x64. Are there huge compatibility issues with XP x64 that should make me bite the bullet and get Vista x64, or huge advantages of getting Vista x64 that should encourage me to get it? (price, compatibility, reliability, etc?)
