I am building a computer that is going to be able to use windows vista 64-bit. If I get an OEM copy, do I need this thing called an OPK? Will that come with the OS DVD? Could someone further explain OPK's to me? Thanks.

No, OPK is more so if your building a computer as a business, not an individual.

You can use the OPK (OEM Preinstallation Kit) on your own installation if you really wanted to, but no you don't have to.
