Hi,

i am just about to order and although i have used vista 64 in my older system i just wounder if i should still use it in my new shuttle build with the Q6600 or use the 32bit version ?

Vista x64 is excellent compatibility wise, unlike XP x64 back in the day.

You'll be needing x64 Vista anyway if you wanna use over 3GB of Ram, there's no real drawbacks to using x64 either as most modern stuff is bound to have a x64 driver if it has a 32-Bit one for Vista.

Not sure if x64 is any faster than x86 but I've heard it is slightly ,you may as well, no real drawbacks like I said.
