Default Vista And Xp Cs Performance

I play alot of counter strike source and will soon be in cal, my new rig will run vista and possibly sli so should i go 32 bit or 64 bit. Basically who has the better drivers. Also i wont go sli for quite some time so its not a big deal just single card drivers matter for now thanks guys.

32 bit Vista has better driver support, but If you can find that all of your hardware has 64 bit Vista drivers, then I would go 64 bit.
