XP 64 is a dead end with limited 3rd party support.

Vista really is the best option for gaming, despite what Apple ads may tell you.

 

Riiiiight...because we rely on Mac ads for our opinions of Vista....I like Mac just about as much as I like Vista...>.>

I don't like it because I used it for six months. Not because I go and blindly say "Vista sucks!" without having tried it in the first place. I suppose the RAM limit may be a problem in the future, but three gigs is just fine for the moment, and by the time more is needed, well, I guess we can hope that windows 7 is all it's cracked up to be.

Same here.  At one point I had Windows XP 32-bit, Windows XP 64-bit and Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit all on my gaming computer.  The 3d Mark scores did not differ vary much between them; Propely overclocking had more of an impact.  I should note that my gaming computer only has 4GB of RAM, therefore 32-bit is not much of a problem for me.  I started playing any game I could on Ultimate 64-bit that could, but soon my OS started acting up, and even my 64-bit games wouldn't work quite right.  I then switched to Windows XP 32-bit.  It seems to run much more stably.
