Default Vista 64 Bit
So hows the 64 bit version of vista's stability now? I've heard the 32 bit version was more stable and that the 64 bit version had some issues still. Besides those points I ordered the 64 bit anyways, but I'm wondering am I going to have any problems with it?

it runs great for me. I have no driver issues, and everything seems to be stable. Just make sure that you install Vista with 2GB, then run all the updates and SP1 and THEN put in the other 2 GB to avoid problems with booting. You could also just get the 4GB hotfix from the Microsoft website and install that, then put the other 2GB in, it's up to you.

No problems here. IMO x64 is way faster then 32bit Vista.

Nice information there. Only reason I got the 64 bit was for the use of more RAM
