    Hi!
    i am going to install vista on my SZ-360
    i was wondering which version is better, the 32 or the 64 bit (both ultimate)

    at first i thought for sure the 64 bit version, but after a little reading, i found that there were driver issues with that version, so i am not sure..
    please advise!

    thanks :)

    I think you answered your own question. If you can find all the drivers for a 64 bit install, it might be better, primarily if you need more then 3.2 gigs of memory (64 bit Vista is the only Windows OS that will do that). But without the proper drivers even if you do get 64 bit Vista to run it will be rather hobbled.

    ok, the question is have anyone here installed the 64 bit version with all the appropriate drivers (i.e. all the drivers are 64 bit)?
