Torner is on a distinguished road
Question 64 bit vs. 32 bit
I need Vista for DX10, and I eventually will probably want around 4GB of RAM (future comp.) Should I buy a 64 or 32 Vista? With the 64 I can get more RAM right, and most games/quality hardware has drivers for 64 bit right?

64Bit will let you use more RAM. 32Bit will let you install 4GB but you will only see 3.3
I would assume that high end games will have drivers for 64Bit...many other softwares don't.

There is nothing wrong with the 64 bit I am a gamer as well since the launch of game jackal and all the apps I own run well and I have quite a few. There are apps that won't run on Vista 64 and this tends to stop allot of users getting it stuff like Nero 6 and early stages of 7 won't run on vista 64 there does seem to be compatibility issues with Printer drivers but if you were to get an all in one package that woulf be installed for you unless you are going to build your own PC. DX10 does well on older games too like Doom 3 etc.....

Nope Vista 32 will only see 4 gigs. 64 bit will see all that the motherboard supports.

Nope there is 32 bit as well. Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Ultimate. All these can be 32 bit or 64 bit.
