    I meant a list of games that have a 64 bit mode
    A list of games that actually run in 64 bit, not just in 32 bit.

    Uh, not many besides Far Cry, Crysis, Half-Life 2 (and possibly it's add-ons).

    32 bit games run fine if not better on my vista 64 bit.

    vista 64 is much better then vista 32 in my opinion and in benchmarks as well.
    if your going vista 64 bit is the way to go that is if you have all your drivers ready.


    yes http://www.star64.com and http://www.vistax64.com/ are great resources

    Oh I know, I agree that 64 bit is better than 32 bit, and I haven't got any problems with Vista 64 bit, I'm just saying it's too bad that more games aren't made to work in 64 bit, it's too bad that so many new games still only run in 32 bit mode..

    Hi guys, I installed Vista Business 64Bit on my DV2000Z, and I have been impressed, since it have been stable. So far I have experience a few problems, have had 3 blue screens since and my pinnacle TV tuner doesn't work, but for the must part the computer is working fine.

    The other thing is that Cisco VPN client 32bit does not work, and Cisco don't have 64bit version. And I really need this software since it required in order to be able to use the Wireless network at my University.

    Well I have searched around and I haven't found any one that will work. I was recommended Open VPN client. I tried out But never go it to work. And the fact that I need to use VPN client in order to connect the wireless in class and around campus. Forced me to go back to Business 32bit, for the moment until I can find one that works.

    I have used x64 ultimate vista since the date in my sig and it works amazingly well, NOT ever going to need to switch back to xp or vista 32bit =p. People should go x64, drivers took sometime but not that hard to find for me anyways.

    Got Ultimate x64 running. Only thing that bugs me is that I can't get any Omega drivers for my 2900. Other than that, it is working very well.

    Ice, assuming you are using RivaTuner 2.06, install it once, and then download the file here:
    http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/724/RivaTuner_x64_signed_Drivers.html

    Change the 203 to 206 and place it in the main RivaTuner directory. Install RivaTuner again (over the first installation) and when it asks to load updates say yes. I just did this last night, it should work great after that.

    Good luck.

    I have this software, I'll try it in the evening and let you know. The thing is, Creative told me that I re-install their software 3 times, and then have to pay $10 for the next 3 times, and $10 for the next, and so on!
