The product key found with the utility is the generic one OEMs use to preinstall Vista on every laptop they produce. Generic doesn't mean it's inferior or something like that. After all that's the key that the OEM wants you to use by preinstalling it for you!
As far as I know neither of these OEM keys will let you switch between 32 and 64 bit. Only retail keys have this capability.

Thanks.
BTW, the jelly bean program (1.5 does notwork with Vista) does not show me my key, just the name of my Windows.
It works on my XP machine fine, but not my Vista machine.
