Ok, have fully decided on going to vista (I want DX10 damn it), but I can't decide which version to pick. 32 or 64 bit. I have very little that needs drivers, cept my video card, keyboard, and mouse. I am entirely a gamer, so which one?
I was thinking 64 bit, but I want your feedback.

I'm not sure why so many people claim 'driver issue' with x64. For most of the common used programs, at least for me (all of them for me), x64 is supported.
I wouldn't bother with x32 unless there's a very specific and personal reason for doing so; i.e. your TV tuner is not supported.

Thanks for the advice. The ONLY thing that I use this PC for is gaming, NOTHING else, so yeah, 64 bit should do nicely.

One downside to x64 is driver signing. It makes using programs like ATI Tool a pain. Just an fyi.

x64 definitely, especially is you're using a dual or quad core processor and you're using more than 2GB of RAM.
