    its not inferior in terms of actual everyday performance. Most of us aren't scientists needing to do massive calculations, so 32 bit is fine. However, 64 bit Vista supports 128 GB of memory, whereas 32 only supports max of 8 GB. There are a lot more drivers for 32 too, so if compatibility is important, 32 is a good choice.

    32-bit is just fine, there are very few software titles out there that are 64-bit capable. Just roll with the 32-bit.
