I don't even know if my drivers will be fully compatible, but what are the drawbacks of Vista 64bit considering all my drivers work fine ?

I'm already running Vista 32bit, but as a gamer, would it matter that much since barely no games are 64 bits optimized ? Or multimedia things, is it worth it ? This is with a E6600 + 2GB of ram + 8800 GTS 640MB.

Thanks for you advices.

Vista X64 is a necessity if you wish to upgrade your ram, I'm running a similar set-up and everything works perfectly.

I've tried benchmarking my system using Cinebench and there is a massive improvement when running the 64bit executable, so potentially games such as Crysis designed ground up with x64 in mind may see some nice performance boosts.
