Bit the bullet and got a copy of vista 64 bit premium home edition. And let me say this software makes one hell of a difference to the way thing run. Graphics have gone through the roof. It can be a bit of a pain at times as you have to go searching for 64 bit drivers and some programs just wont work but it is worth it and I have the 32 bit version on my second hard drive if I get desperate but I wont. I can now run anything at maximum settings and then some. Anyone else using 64 bit and where do you go to get your drivers.,

sly will my core 2 duo e6750 run that?

Any DC processor will run the 64bit Vista.

I run Vista Ultimate 64bit and it runs well. I am however having some fun problems with some older games.

How old are the games your having trouble with? Wondering cause I have games dating back to the mid 80s

You are aware that 64 bit OS runs most games considerably slower. The drivers still blow chunks. There are a few exceptions. Vista itself, runs games much slower than XP.

My PC is a new P35mb with a 6850 DC processor and 4Gb RAM. I run a 8800 GTX Video card with 768Mb RAM.

I have had heaps of problems with rFactor, Counter strike and BF2. They are all very heavy 3d games and I have narrowed it down to the Nvidia 64 bit drivers. I have also slowed my PC down and this has made it more stable.

I suggest any gamer that wants to go Vista, should get 64bit as you will need it when Direct X 10 comes out.

Personally I should have waited 6 months, but being in IT and running it at work, I figure I should run the latest.

You do know vista has been designed for dx10 and above and is designed for gaming?

But. I have never had a driver issue' it usually doesn't have a problem with 32bit drivers if I cant find the 64bit.

But yeh vista home premium or ultimate = gaming machine's u just need a dual core and at least 2gb of ddr2
