Vista 32 Bit or 64 Bit?

Have built a decent Vista machine but am not sure if 32 Bit or 64 Bit version would be better or worse. :?:

Currently running XP Pro 32 bit.

Machine is used for gaming.

If you have good drivers for everything else in your system, go 64 bit. If not, go for 32 - you can always cheaply upgrade later online to 64 bit.

Thanks thats what I needed to know. I'll start with 32 and look for upgrade later.

This is a forum however. I've got the Vista Ultimate 32 bit, but you should wait and see what other people say first, rather than jump on the first reply you receive

for a system that new, i dont think drivers should be such a problem. My vote goes to getting 64 bit right off the bat. Make sure you download ALL the drivers your need and put them onto a disk before you buy the software though. that way you can be sure everything that needs a driver has one.
