Gaming 64-bit disfunctional?
I'm sure this is stupid, but hey it's just me. I was told that some or most games you could not play if you had a 64-bit OS. I have XP home 32 and was wondering about upgrading. What's the point of all the upgrade if you can't play. Tell me its not so

I don't know what games you've got but a "google" should answer that question for you, depending on your hardware.
Tell us the games and your specs.

Yes, games made for windows 3.1 and windows 98 might not work with 64 bit OS

I run 64 bit Vista for all my games and I have LOTS of games loaded. I have never come across any game that I cannot run with Vista 64. This includes games meant for Windows XP 32 and Vista 32. It also includes all the games I have downloaded from Steam.
I even got a game written for Windows 95 (Descent 3) to run. It runs crazy fast too.  Whoever is going around saying Vista 64 cannot run the vast majority of the games out there is full of it.
