    99% of the time 64-bit Vista is not faster - some very intensive CPU orientated tasks such at rendering can be faster with 64-bit optimised programs. In some cases it can be slightly slower especially with older 32-bit apps / games.

    However there is quite a good reason to upgrade to 64-bit and that's if you have 4GB of RAM or more.

    i want to upgrade to 64, but a wireless adapter, Hawking HWU8DD, only has 32-bit drivers. and apparently they don't plan on making a 64-bit driver,or so i was told.i will only be using it at my moms soon, so maybe i'll just use linux or something there.
