Should I get a Windows 7 x64 or get a Windows Vista x86?

I'm deciding on what I should get. Vista looks fun but 7 looks even better.

Windows 7 x64 if your hardware supports it. Otherwise go with x86. Windows 7 is better than Vista by a long shot.

I dont think it's 64 bit since the ram can only go upto 4gb,

nope its 64 bit, its a good buy but it's kinda dated, your also getting it really cheap. I'd go for it

This is a stupid question. Why anyone would buy Vista now?

The system specs show 2gb of ram. Question is are you going to upgrade the ram above that? If not I recommend the 32 bit os.

The one thing I like about win7 is the fading wallpaper slideshow. Other than that...it's no better than my Vista. Matter of fact, I don't know if there's a problem with the 64/32bit win7 upgrade, but I've experienced problems with both. Specifically, the boot-up glitches and then freezes at the flag logo, which stays put an pulsates forever. I have to cold re-start once or several times just to get up and running again. Also, my Firefox completely quite working with 64bit. I've returned to win7 32bit, since the majority of programs I run are not designed (though most still work) for 64bit. As far as speed difference between 32/64bit...I don't notice one bit. One last thing, while browsing sites and installing my good software on win7 64bit, I picked up a virus/trojan/tracking cookies, etc. from somewhere...who knows where; a bad site maybe. That was with antivirus running, malwarebytes, windows firewall & defender. What the F@#$! Make you wonder whether windows defender is worth running. I think not. Windows firewall is questionable too.

Bottom line: Go with Win7 64/32. You should be happy with either.

Windows 7 x64 definitely.
