64 bit

I have a Intel E6400 which is 64 but capable, however at the moment I am running 32bit Windows, do you think I should make the switch to 64 when I upgrade to Vista?

no reason why you shouldn't in my opinion

I assume I will still be able to run all 32 bit programs the same as now so apart from a couple of games where would I see a performance jump?

Thanks.

Yeah all 32-bit apps will run fine. The only benefit you will see is from programs made and designed for 64-bit.

I would guess that at the moment most of 64bit apps are games or media tools. With Vista, plus increased 64bit market share is that going to change anytime soon?
