I've been runnig Vista Ultimate 32 bit for 2 months now and am quite happy with it. Was considering the jump to 4 gigs of RAM with my tax return, which I'd need 64 bit for.

So, anybody have experience with any of the following on Vista:

Steam (Half Life 2, CS:S)
Battlefield 2142
Battlefield 2
WoW
Warcraft 3
America's Army

and How is Nvidia's driver support for 64 bit? I'm sporting a 7900 GS.

I'd love to go to 4 gigs of RAM, but if I'm going to take a performance hit, I think I'd rather spend the money on an LCD TV, or to finish replacing my CRT's with LCD monitors.

BF2 runs terrible ... war 3 runs great ... thats all i tried
 
Yep. BF2 runs really bad. Too much disk access going on during game play which causes slowdown. I might need more RAM. In the mean time I have switched back to XP.
