I have been using Vista 64 Ultimate with 8Gb and I love it.

I have had no driver problems except for an old printer which I replaced anyways. It was really the manufacturer, because they said they would never make newer drivers for that printer.

I love Vista!

I too recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
Apart from an aging Win95 era soundcard I've had no problems obtaining drivers.

The system is vastly improved.

I use my PC to make music, a very CPU intensive
task.
1 song I'm working on at the moment used 80% CPU
while I Was running the audio system at 10 ms
latency.
On the 64bit OS the same song uses 25%/30% CPU
@ 3 ms latency!!!

Thumbs up for Vista 64 from me ......

I just got a 64 bit and its great. Didnt realize the non compatibilities that exist with my all-in-one printer and camera. Now to update (purchase) a compatible setup for both.

Can you please clarify a point of confusion: IF i have a 64-bit processor while using Vista 32-bit OS, is more than 4GB of RAM available? Is the availability a hardware(processor) or sOS limitation? do I determine the max RAM I can install?

Thank you

I Love My H.P Phenom X4 64 Bit P.C I have 7gb of Ram
if I,m Looking For A Program I add X64 in the search Query And my H.p Deskjet 5400 Won't Run on it But I Have A 2 Hp 32bit P.C,S So no Biggie! I Run
Firefox With NoSCript and Fasterfox And Lots of Protection Software I Rarely Have Any Problems With Finding Free Programs And I have Gotten Very Use to Vista and Find That it's Very SMART at finding new drivers When I Install A Device! and it's much more Secure! and Now I Kinda Hate using my X.P p.c,s LOL
