Generally 64bit have a slight 5% faster performance than the 32bit. Current devices released after vista launch date should all have 64bit driver support. But the only thing is don't expect any of your old devices to work Plug and play lol, its gona be more of a work to do, esp for devices prior windows ME. I stuck to 32bit as I do not want any possible mess up as I am still using my comp as a production workstation and older software till I upgrade my licenses, so lesser compatibility problems is a must for me now. I don't think 64bit is within vista's product lifespan, maybe for windows 7. For you should be ok for 64bit, considering you are building your PC all new.

The comp I built at home is a workstation and for general entertainment/gaming. yea, for servers I will still steer clear of vista, its not efficient at all... infact currently I do not actually use windows server, only apache and linux. :mrgreen: No, I run my site off a separate rack mount server, so that very much stuff in the datacenters.

Some of my friends converted from Vista back to Windows Server as they still find the previous kernel more stable. Your PC is the same one hosting your blog?

Think it could be worst with the 64-bit version. For printers should not be a problem as vista have their own drivers inside already. I have a feeling that if you want to use old PCI devices (like my old WinTV PCI tuner card in my case), then only 64bit certified drivers can be installed, so take note that if you have any old hardware or add-ons, it most prob will not work.
