[angrynerdrock]

i have an athlon 64 3200 + processor. im going to get vista home premium soon. should i get 64 bit or 32 bit? will 64 do anything more for me? i really just use my computer for music, video, and internet.

Yes.

I'm using Vista 64 bit at the moment,I have 32 bit programs installed like Spybot,Spywareblaster,uTorrent,Firefox,Thunderbird,CCleaner etc... games installed at the moment are Oblivion and old classic Might and Magic 8,no problems to report.

As long as you have 32-bit versions of all of the required libraries for that 32-bit process, yes.
