Re: vista 32bit or 64 bit
i would prefer 64 bit but as it is going to have the same problems over support as xp pro 64 i will run 32 bit for time being

Re: vista 32bit or 64 bit
32bit initially then using the online upgrade system, pay the difference and get the 64bit in a few months.

Re: vista 32bit or 64 bit
I think 32 bit will be the best option for most people for now. I went x64 as i don't mind tinkering with things and have everything I need running perfectly under x64.

Re: vista 32bit or 64 bit
32 for me. 64 is still too quirky and I was unable to get the sound drivers working despite trawling the web for work arounds. At the end of the day my laptop is my every day work horse. I don't have the time to tinker!

Re: vista 32bit or 64 bit
32-bit, 64 is still poorly supported by the majority of manufactuers.

Not true, most the major ones have included 64bit drivers now. If you have older hardware it will be harder to find some but newer hardware shouldn't be such a problem.
Also M$ stated that in order for 32bit vista drivers to be singed by M$ they must also create 64bit version.

Well thats the first I've heard of that. Are you sure you dont mean, that for manufactuers to make & distrubute x64 drivers for Vista, that they must be signed by Microsoft? I know that is the case.
FYI Unsigned drivers for x64 won't install.

Exactly!
The 64-bit version really flys on my machine, but the driver and application support is awful.
D-Link have NO 64-bit digitally signed drivers for any of their network cards!

nope defiently read what I wrote eariler. Would make sense as well. M$ are trying to get people to take the 64bit step and what better way than forcing companies to make x64drivers if they want to have any drivers at all signed by M$.
