Question regarding Vista

I'm buying a new pc and I'm concerned about the Windows Vista 64bit...I've heard so many bad stories from people with Vista that it makes me really worried Will all of my games work fine on Vista? Some of the games I play are COH, SHIII, lots of steam games like DOD and DODS, CS and CSS, trackmania, and I also might buy COD4 or something. Here is the exact verion of Vista that it comes with: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition 64-bit operating system with Service Pack 1 (SP1) preinstalledAlso, what is the difference between Vista 32-bit and Vista 64-bit??Question regarding Vista
They'll work fine. There's just no point in using 64-bit. You get no performance benefits. If it's because you want 4gigs of RAM operational, you can do that with x32+SP1. You take a substantial fps hit in vista. Well...last time I checked.Question regarding Vista
^ It'll see it but i don't think it will use your 4GB.............
I think vista 64 is a little more well supported now with most games, you may still want to check though. If your hardware fully supports 64 bit (meaning it has 64 bit drivers, or the 32 bit drivers have been confirmed to be working in 64 bit) then go for 64 bit. Im assuming your typing on a windows 32 bit machine right now probably xp you can just install that on your new system if you don't like vista 64bit or even dual boot. There is no point in going with vista if you are going to run in 32bit. There would be no point to vista at all if xp 64bit was more well supported.
