Thanks for your recommendations guys. I found a DVD and burned it. I couldn't boot from "CD/DVD" but am currently installing it in VBox. We'll see how that goes 'cause there was not enough memory but so far so good. If it doesn't install I'll use a 32-bit...most people I've heard say that can't see much diff. anyway.
