ah but doesn't x64 have a decent amount of compatibility issues still, i only game and use mozilla so as long as it doesn't interfer with that i might consider it. i still have my 32-bit disc so i coudl revert, though finding a x64 disc would be dam near impossible in my town, i don't brag but i would definetely bet there aren't very many people that know about computers like i do at my school. but i'll keep that in mind, i thk my bro at his college might know a friend or 2 with x64. what about compatibility though any first hand experience on that?

I haven't had a single problem at all. My 24/7 OS is Vista x64. The few programs that do have issues, usually only require a simple solution to get them to run.

x64 is way more stable than the 32bit version for me.

I have yet to run into a compatibility probelm with Vista x64. XP x64 on the other hand, well thats a different story.

I played around with YDL on my ps3 for a while, once the initial "new" factor wore off all it really was was a difficult to use OS with no reason to use it
