O/S XP vs Vista 32 vs 64?

Looking to purchase a new system that will be used for gaming. What's the current thoughts on the o/s i should get? XP, or Vista 32 bit or Vista 64 bit, please?

Cheers
 
I would second the Vista 64. I've been running it now on about 6 systems for well over a year with 0 problems.
 
Vista 64. It's solid and allows 4+ GB of memory. No reason to get Vista 32 over Vista 64 unless you would have some really really obscure compatibility problem.

If you already have a retail copy of XP that you could transfer, then spending extra for Vista 64 is debateable (but worth it, IMO). But there is no reason to buy a new copy of XP.

Enjoy the new system.:beer:
 
Just make sure that your gaming hardware and software will run under Vista. For instance, my Saitek x35 Flight Control system will never have Vista drivers. Same thing with my Thrustmaste Flighjt Control system. So my gaming PCs will remain XP for a long time.
