Overall difference from vista 32 - not much for the good

however i'd suggest it in the hope that support and compatibility flows after general release

Isn't that more of a Vista thing, than a 64 bit thing, just cause vista is new not much drivers have been made.

yes it is (hopefully)

i can't wait to see x64 dual core tweaked firefox :D

some reason firefox unexpectedly freezes my whole computer if i close a tab (Normally happens if i'm in 'YTMND mode' with about 3 ytmnd's loading up and i close one of them for whatever reason)

-------------------------------------------------------

Although saying that, logitech haven't made any x64 drivers for their webcams leaving my lovely little one in the dark..... and it's not for lack of demand, there are whole forums and websites dedicated to pestering logitech for x64 drivers they keep saying soon, for over 3 years now, comparisons have been made and the most detailed answer back from them has been that Microsoft did something to USB so it works faster in an x64 environment but in doing so buggered up something allowing them to make drivers for video devices easily

Everything in the Vista 64-bit version is in the 32-bit version. MS didn't add anything that wouldn't run on both versions. Also, according to GRC.com, the 64-bit kernel is more secure, due to higher intrinsic levels of protection.

Personally, I'd install the 64-bit version, if only to avoid reinstalling Vista in the future.

i think i heard that there's a limited amount of printers that support 64-bit versions of XP and Vista so id stick with 32-bit if your printer's not compatible. but on the other hand, vista 64-bit is {apparently} more secure and reliable. its a tough choice because you don't want to buy a new printer if it's not going to work with your computer do you?
