I have full retail version of Windows Vista Ultimate, I'm going to try x64 for 20 days before activating it - I'm 100% sure i don't have any driver problems, my only problem is Games- do they suck in x64- especially x32 games? I will have to find out

It's not so much as the OS version you use ,but the Vista drivers at the moment are still new,expect ATI/AMD and Nvidia drivers to get better with time.

I know Drivers are going to get better with time, the existing GTX drivers really suck (even in 32) but I'm sure Nvidia is working on new driver updates.

Do you think the new DX10 games will be 64bit compatible?

Yes,why do you think DX10 is in the 64 bit Vista as well it's not just for 64 bit games.

Here's something interesting I noticed when starting HL2 up in Vista x64

I am evaluating the 64-bit business version. So far I find that I have to workaround the way Vista processes login scripts called from Active Directory (this is in both 32 and 64 bit). My cingular wireless 3G modem was a huge pain to get installed, but I finally managed. I think the biggest thing stopping me from running Vista would be the fact that it just doesn't feel as fast as XP. I will probably end up dual-booting for quite a while until I am satisfied that Vista is needed in the workplace.
