Window Vista 64 Bit
I noticed in my retail box that there was a card offering that you can send away for 64 Bit media for a nominal fee ( 10.00) from Microsoft. So I did this and I am able to use my same license for it and now have it up and running. First impressions are very responsive, stable and quick. It only took about 15Min to install on a formated drive. The 64 bit edtion actually seem to run better then the 32 bit, I also noticed it makes much better use of my memory. On the 32 bit OS I got a score of 4.6, where now I am getting 5.1.
As far as other software goes I haven't had any problems regarding backward compatibility with 32 bit, Firefox being one example. I have not tried many games, but I am playing the 64 bit version of Half Life 2 which looks absolutely stunning. I also have Comany of Heroes and it also plays very well.
The only other thing to mention but no less important is drivers. Windows Picked up everything but my 8800GTS and the XFI. Both Nvidia and Creative have drivers for these items and they are working very well.
