Thinking of getting this as 32 bit only seems to utilise 3gb ram or what ever it is from what I can gather, so don't really want to buy that one from an upgrade point of view. Mainly be a gaming platform as all the 32 bit app's I have gould be run on a seperate 32 bit xp machine i have. Any known supprot issues with games(only newer stuff),SATA Drives, boards(Asus P5N32-e sli) vid cards (8800gt) any info on the 64 bit os would be grrrreat

I work with 64bit software all day long, and the support for standard apps is crap. you cant run office because there is no 64bit drivers for excel yet, lots of hardware wont work, again no 64 bit drivers. My advice is stick to 32 bit until 64 bit is mainstream.

i have taken the 64 bit version out and put xp back in as one care plus others dont work on 64bit vista, plus it was playing up saying there was a driver missing another 64 bit driver

oh dear doesn't look good then? I put 64bit xp on as a beta when it was launched and had prob's. Hoped things had changed. Ah well xp it is to stay then. Vista 32 bit... anyone had any issues with the more than 3gb ram thingy?
