I am about to buy some hardware, that has a great bundled price with Vista Ultimate. I don't plan to install and run Vista just quite yet (I may give a try or two), but do not have a clue about buying a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Vista.

I will run this with an AMD socket 939, FX60 dual core CPU, and the only real intent is to game on the rig.

I seem to recall many posts about games not running on 64bit XP OS.

Any recomendations here?

The big problem with 64bit operating systems right now is a lack of drivers for all the various hardware out there. Thats why we have been recommending folks stick with 32bit for now.

RGR that.

The 32 bit bundle is $10 less, I'll go that route.
