Heck all my blabbing on this thread and I didn't answer the OP's question,

I can't see a reason why it wouldn't. Except 64 bit OS's seem to have more problems than 32 bit.

Crom, I run games like crysis, bioshock orange box, and COD4 on my vista x64 maxed (Well, except crysis obviously) and I get 1 or 2 frames difference at most between them...

Stop spreading ridiculous FUD.

maybe this is some driver performance problem particular to your machine?

Vista does not suck for gaming.

Glad to know your OS is more secure than my OS.

How is OSX "faster"?
How is OSX "more stable"?

As far as linux is concerned, keep waiting.

IMHO, Vista 64 is a great platform, coupled with Virtual PC 2007, I can run "virtually" any OS of my choosing.

Guys, do not fight about this crap, it never goes anywhere. jvandecar, you have obviously never used OSX or you would not have said what you just did. and crom, you have never used vista, I havn't either and I never will because i love OSX, and when your in love with something you don't want another.

and the link you posted to is a contest we all know about, they do those all the time. means nothing. I have no firewall on my MBP, and I have never gotten a virus, or a hiccup on it. nothing but silky smooth performance.

jut remember guys, everything sucks, everyone sucks relative to something or someone else.

It runs fine with my 64bit Ultimate. I suggest you find out why you cant run the demo before you buy the game because the real game is a lot more demanding, especially near the end. I build and sell high-end gaming rigs and haven't sold an XP gaming rig in six months as all the real gamers want Vista and DX10 regardless of what some "expert" says. When you buy the game DO NOT put the 1.1 patch in. It has bugs. Just go with the 1.2 patch.

And I have no firewall or AV product on my Vista 64 PC. I mean, "software firewalls" are snake oil anyway and do nothing that closing unused inbound ports does not also do. A little sense with what you give admin privileges to, and not allowing every webscript you can find to run at all times (Firefox+NoScript ftw), and viruses and spyware are not an issue even on a windows box.

The fact that you have no viruses on your MBP is kinda irrelevant, when the only reason there are only about 2 mac viruses in existence is that there are only about 10 macs in existence (yes, and exaggeration I know, but 2.2% of the worldwide market?! That's kinda pathetic and irrelevant)

If the Apple Zealots ever get their way and destroy Windows PCs, then the Mac will suddenly start being virus ridden. Its pretty much the price of success.

There is a REASON apple only have a 2.2% market share. They are expensive, OSX might be pretty and stable (probably because it runs on less than 100 configurations) but outside of Photoshop and desktop publishing applications, its main use is emulating windows.

The amount of people that buy a Mac or a MBP and then run windows 90% of the time via bootcamp, meaning they have just bought an overpriced Windows PC, is amazing.

Comments:

I'll be doing a full Crysis Vista 64 vs XP Benchmark on my own computer in the near future on my own system. General reports from a number of different sources show that Windows Vista 64 bit is roughly 10-20% faster than Windows Vista 32 bit and runs on less energy consumption. With Vista SP1 32 bit vs XP SP 2 there is no discernible difference in performance. I'm also disheartened that the person who ran the above benchmark ran each OS from a different Hard Drive thus the results were skewed more into XP SP 2's favor. This should still give you a rather good idea on what your system will look like running Crysis on a variable amount of different Resolutions and settings which should answer any and all questions you may have.

Just a quick add, while you will be able to play the single player campaign on Vista 64bit, you will not be able to play on any punkbuster servers using Vista 64bit. The clowns over at evenbalance haven't yet figured out how to write 64bit code i guess. Cheeses me off, and it's strike two for me personally against punkbuster. Strike one was it's incompatibility with processguard.

I have finished the boxed game under vista 64 on highest quality settings. Game ran perfectly without any glitches. But do not forget to install latest patch after you finish your setup. Only thing I saw was the missing shortcuts on the desktop, which might caused by the language difference of my operating system I guess. Anyway, if you install boxed game on vista 64, there should be a "bin64" folder under somewhere in the game folder, where you can find the 64-bit executable.

As a reference, my system is:
Core 2 duo e6600, 4x1gb ddr2-1066mhz (kingston), asus en8800gtx 768mb, soudn blaster audigy, raid 0 - 2xWD320gb hdd, Vista64-bit business edition, Windows XP 32-bit on dual boot, 22" viewsonic lcd monitor (1680x1050) etc... etc.. etc

Benchmark always displayed 17-21 fps during timedemo, but I have never experienced a screen lag or slowdown issue which affected my game experience. By the way, I directly started the game in Delta setting and finished it, which is the way I like first person shooters (most realistic way for me).

Have fun with your 64-bit, dx10 crysis ^^

Crom you ridiculous boy,i spent 1000 euro not 5000 on a very good rig that runs crysis on very high at 1920x1200 on vista 3.2 athalon 64, with a evga gtx 260 4 gigs on ram. I had started using this hardware at first on xp and i finally switched reluctantly to vista and to my surprise i got a way better frame rate on my vista. Yeh sure vista is a bit different, i used to think it was rubbish too but it is very good for games...and as for games for linux i use ubuntu also and cannot see crysis or any other high spec games working on for a long time.

Reply to stevieD070

just recently got a HP Dv6 Laptop (Centrino 2 , ATI Radeon etc...)

it was my first introduction to Vista. (32bit)

The laptop has great specs.

With my personal experience i can say, the Vista performance in general is so bad.

Every minute programs are "not responding" , system locks up, takes ages to do stuff in general.

Sometime i even start to sit there thinking about Dial Up Internet days.....

Vista is the worst OS around , glad windows 7 is here
