I'm about to download windows vista...

Should I go with the x86 version, or x64? I really want to try the x64 for some reason, i guess just because it's 64-bit but i've heard the bad things about it. which one should i go for?

32bit. i heard that the x64 version is buggy. it weighs more and there are less drivers for it. just get the 32bit version.

Well after starting the x64 download before I went to bed last night, I awoke this morning to a post by forum master telling me not to get the 64 bit version, and a wonderful message saying that the 9 hours of downloading i did went to waste because the download could not be completed sucessfully. After already accidently deleting my product key (stupid me... I thought they would give me another one), I had to sign into MSN with my sister's address to download the 32 bit version because it said I had already reached the maxiumum limit for my e-mail address. Dl'ing the 32 bit version right now.

I ran 5342 in x86 and it was slow as hell. I don't know why. I tried 5365 in x64 and it was awesome smooth. I've been x64 ever since.

I will go back to 32-bit soon after reading Anand's review, but I got both versions. MSDN pwns.
