Making the switch to Vista, 32-bit or 64-bit?

Vista 64

I went with 64-bit for the extra ram. So far the only thing I can't run is Dscaler or any other TV tuner app. I'm stuck using Media Center but at least the tuner works. I don't use it that often so it's no big deal. I would suggest checking to see if 64-bit drivers are available for your hardware before making the switch though. Most likely they are but you never know.

 

switching from 32 bit to 64 bit

Because the Media Creation Tool will usually contain both 32 and 64 bit versions along with a mix of Pro and Home, so if you have a mix of systems you want to upgrade and switch up like you are planning to do now.
