Windows 32bit or 64?

[redwinger]

I dont know if this was ever discussed here before but I tried looking but didnt see any post so if it was discused in the past i apoligise for asking again.
I have windows Vista 32 bit but was thinking of upgrading to 64 bit can any one tell me the pros or cons on the 2 versions? and the benifits of one over the other? I mostly use the comp for video games and website hosting if that helps.

Not really any downside to the 64 bit version, other than driver/software compatibility but most things are running on both so it shouldn't be to much of a problem.

Take a look at the link and then I would decide If its worth the upgrade.

Yea, I would have to agree with the others. Do some reasearch and make sure that the games that you are playing are compatible with a 64 bit OS.
