Any reason left to buy 32-Bit OS?

They've been saying that since A64 first came out ;).

Yeah, and I hope it happens. x64 is a bit more mainstream now, so hopefully we'll see more development on that front.

well, I personally won't be contributing to the furthering of 64-bit software at the time being, I can't afford to spend the extra cash on Vista Retail and I don't want to run into any problems with 64-bit and be stuck

You suck!!!! No, j/k. lol.

Yeah, you can always upgrade later if need be, I suppose. But before you commit to buying, if you can find someone that has a Vista x64 DVD, you can install it without a Key, and it will give you a 30day trial. That way you can test to see if all your stuff works.

good idea but you'd probably be the only person lol and plus I need this to work without a hitch for the rig I'm building for a person so I'd rather just use 32bit and not have to worry about it and/or fix problems that occur
