I know this sounds weird, but i haven't tried out vista or the 64 bit version of xp, so need some help. This is mainly for my new rig that will be completed this week. I will use the normal suite of apps (photoshop/dreamweaver etc) and some recent games (crysis,COD 4, Orange Box).
I want to know if there is a real world performance gain using the 64 bit of windows. And between the following, which one would you chose :
1. Windows xp 32 bit
2. Windows xp 64 bit
3. Vista Ultimate 32/64 bit
I know dx10 is supported on vista only, but does the 64bit version actually make a difference? Also what about compatibility issues?
