x64 Games or No?
I'm not much of a.. i guess, technical gamer, I just like to play games a lot (but who doesn't?). My current concern is, can any video game be played on an x64 OS or is it only select games? I ask this because I am planning to switch to x64.

Wait on x64...the majority of stuff is still being programmed for 32-bit useage. Once major hardware and software vendors stop supporting it, it'll be safer to make the switch.

Some older games such as some flight simulators will not install on a x64 machine. I have installed games as far back as diablo II with no problems and I am running vista x64. It will just install them in the program files x86 folder and run them 32-bit. If you swith now you will run into some small problems. If you wait to switch then you will just be waiting.
