64 bit worth it?

[dgriffs]

If im going to be building a pc over the summer, why should I buy 64 bit vista? I dont plan on using more than 4gbs of ram anytime time soon. Won't I need to get a whole new set of drivers? Arent there compatibility issues with 64 bit?

64 bit has arrived. Most everything out there has 64 bit drivers now. Vista 64 is hugely popular among hardware/gaming enthusiasts now, so if you fit that profile you will love it too. Most all software does not even know you have a 64 bit os anyway, and just runs in 32 bit mode. Ram is so cheap and 64 bit allows you to use it all.
