Just want to point out that as far as I know.. you can't upgrade from a
32bit OS to a 64bit OS.

I've been running the 64bit of Vista and I haven't had a lot of issues w/
games. I suggest doing what I did, buy the retail copy of the OS and dual
boot the 32bit and 64bit, and test them both out. the few things I've run in
to have been "Vista" in general problems not just related to the 64bit
version
