i know you have already heard this question b4 but am pulling my hair out lol..i need to find out if stepping up to vista64 premium is a good or bad thing and ive heard a lot of good and bad things but need more advice..im thinking along the lines of future i.e 4gig ram and dx10...can i have your expert advice guys or has anyone got the 64bit version with 4gig ram...cheers guys
 
I'm running Vista 64bit with 4gig of RAM without any major problems, the minor problems were Itunes did not work until I manualy downloaded the Gear drivers and added the CDConfiguration file and slow transfere rates.

Most of my games seem to work ok.

You need to check what software you want to use, and see if it is compatable or any updates available.

64bit should run fine and allow you to use all of that lovely 4GB of ram! :)

I'd just make sure that everything you have/want to use has 64bit signed drivers.

Im currently on 32bit because some of my peripherals dont have the drivers :(

well i have just checked reviews for my mouse (razor deathadder) and one person said this, which tbh lol with my current lack of knowledge (still learning) im confused as to what it means....here is what he said...
i'm on vista 64 and it works great, drivers are top stuff, one issue is the firmware cannot be updated on vista 64, so had to boot up my old 32bit XP machine and install the drivers and flash the firmware like that. don't plug the mouse into vista64 until you've flashed the firmware, i've heard bad things!

whats is the flash firmware thingy:confused:
