    Vista 32 or 64 bit ?

    Im looking to put Vista on my system as a second boot. Im only wanting to use Vista for them D10 games. (Crysis)
    So what one should I get? I got 4 gig of ram, so that leans me towards the 64bit. But Ive heard problems with the 64bit.
    Basically, what I want to know it, if Im just using it for gaming will I still have problems with it, over the 32bit.

    And more to the point, will it run better in 64bit. Shouldnt it be faster?

    For your uses I would use 64bit. I know a couple of people using it and it works perfectly well for almost everything. The odd older PCI add in card won't work due to driver issues but most games they have cared to try work well.

    Its more of a case of why you should use 32bit.
    Go 64bit unless you have specific cases not to do so
