Default Anyone use VISTA 64 on a gaming rig?

I'm contemplating is as it'll will help solve my storage problems
with a disk size of greater than 2TB (GPT Disk).

Does anyone have any issues with legacy gaming or other
compatibility issues?

I struggled to use the 64 bit version basically down to driver compatibility and install issues. i gave up and switched back to the 32 bit version and is much easier to run the things I want to run.

Same here. Vista x64 is a good platform for gaming now.

This place had always been helpful if I had problems. But not had any for months now.

You can also go dual boot.

I have both x64 and XP on the same PC.

I've never had problems with 64 Vista. Not even with the bugfest that was STALKER.
