hi,
i was just a little confused is there a performance gain if i install vista 64-bit instead of the 32bit one??

No

you will run slower on most everything because of the apps and games being 32bit

Mike

had a discussion about 32 and 64 bit on the forums somewhere....cant think where though

Im running vista 64 bit and it works great

only prob is a few games wont work properly yet

battlefield 2142
stalker

but they will be fixed in new patches and video card drivers im quite sure

games i run fine under 64 bit vista:

battlefield 2
command and conquer 3
supreme commander
doom 3
quake 4
HL2 and counter strike

and many many more too many too list...

Now this will probably be a stupid question...

But with a 64-bit processor can you run the 32-bit version?

YES

Honestly Smokin_Mitch is the first person I have heard that is not having a LOT of trouble with drivers and such for the 64bit version. I had HUGE problems with the E6400 and Intel MOtherboard. I never tried on the Gigabyte, but it was just horrible with the latter! I also had a TON of programs that would not work, including AVG!

Good luck, but I still vote to stick with the 32bit! I have, and am having no problems!

I'm running 64-Bit Vista with 4GB of memory and a quad-core processor with just a couple minor issues... Photoshop CS3 isn't working right as the color settings for my LCD monitor profile aren't set correctly, so things in photoshop don't look right.

I've actually noticed improvements in all games I've played on a 64bit Operating Systems.

I've not had one single issue with XP x64, and It runs everything I need it to perfectly, faster, and smoother.

XP X64 was a wreck for me, lots of software didn't work, lots of hardware didn't have any drivers.

Vista 64-bit is much better for me, running it with 4 GB of ram with no 64-bit specific problems other than my printer not working.

my cannon printer works fine on vista 64

Yeah, HP doesn't offer Vista drivers for me new laser printer on its website.

I set up a "To print" folder on the desktop of one of my XP computers, send stuff over to that when I need to print stuff now.

The networking dude at school runs Vista 64bit on his pc in his office and none of the drivers work!!! hes got no sound even with a Soundblaster Audigey and he had to buy a network card because the onboard didnt work. So going from that ill stick with my 32bit For the moment
