Anyone wish they had chosen Vista 32bit instead of 64bit???

As the title says.
After using Vista 64bit for a while know does anyone wish they had chosen the 32bit version or vice versa.
I'm about to do a hardware and OS upgrade in the next month and I cant make my mind what to go with. I want to go with the 64 bit version, but there are always going to be more incompatibilities.

the only piece of hardware i have (from about 4 machines -64bit ones) that doesn't (and won't) have drivers, is my haupagge tv card, but it's an mce box anyway, so 32bit is fine for it

No driver problems here with Vista 64.

Every piece of hardware/software I own works on Vista64 so no regrets here.

Zero driver problems with Vista x64, haven't looked back tbh.

PhillyDee · 13 Oct 2007 at 17:16

Not a single problem with 64bit here. Except when it was new and driver support was thin on the ground, but thats all sorted now.

Shouldn't be any x64 problems - especially with new kit. If you do come across any that are insurmountable, just format and install the x86 version (although if you buy OEM, you'll have to find an x86 install disc from somewhere).

4gb support with 64bit, no driver problems. Never looked back myself, glad i didnt go the 32bit route.

Yep, 64 working fine for me, I havaent had any problems with drivers at all.

Combat squirrel · 13 Oct 2007 at 17:44

I didnt have problems at all until now, latest nvidia drivers going really wrong, doesnt help I cannot download any either ,always corrupt for some reason

On a modern motherboard? Nope.

The only issue I've had with Vista 64 is my Palm PDA, there's no USB driver support from Palm for Vista 64

.

I have both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. I use the 32 bit version as my wifi card and usb bluetooth adapter don't have any drivers for x64. These are quite old pieces of hardware.

If you have newish hardware then I doubt you would find any driver problems.

Priapus · 13 Oct 2007 at 18:53

I would be using Vista 64 Bit now, however there're no 64Bit Drivers for my NF3 Board. Only 32 Bit Sound drivers. Otherwise I'd be using it now.

I wish there were some...

tang0 · 13 Oct 2007 at 18:57

so with x64, can you run x86 games and apps as you would normally ?
