    I am starting a new build which will have 4GB of RAM and 768MB of Graphics Ram. Vista 32bit can only Address 3.2GB of the RAM and all 768MB of the GPU Ram leaving nearly a Gig wasted and no upgrade path.

    Vista 64 can support all 4GB and allow future upgrades, but it's driver support isn't meant to be great.

    Anyone running Vista 64 let me know how they find it in terms of driver and software that is supporting it?

    What programs are you running that will use the RAM ?
    Have you found 64 bit drivers for all your hardware ?


    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929605 yeah 3.12GB , maybe less than 3GB if you have many drivers.
