I had this feeling last night before I went to bed that I should format my PC today and benchmark again XP 32 and Vista 64 with the newest beta drivers out there, so I downloaded the 162.22 beta drivers for my 8800GTS and I first benchmarked on XP Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 and Company of Heroes, and I was pleasantly suprised to see almost equal performance on both, here are my results:

Settings all on Max @ 1280x1024 (Except textures on GRAW2, because it won't let me choose high textures due to my 320MB Vram)

My system:

E6400 @ Stock
2 Gigs of DDR2 533 ram
8800GTS 320MB @ Stock

I know it's not pretty with charts and all, but this showed me that I can use Vista 64 just the same as XP, that is of course, until I find some bug on vista.
