Vista 64 bit or Windows XP x64 edition ?
A lot of hardware has driver issues with Vista. Unless Vista offers something that you just can't get with XP, I'd stick with XP. My motherboard does support the CPU with the latest BIOS, and I made sure it was updated. Essentially, Vista was running better with my older and slower CPU, but I don't want to

Microsoft throws in the towel on Vista
I've been looking forward to Windows Vista 64 so I can take full advantage of my CPU. I don't do video editing or intensive gaming; I just want a ridiculously fast computer. What I have found focuses primarily on how incompatible 64 bit operating systems are in that they lack drivers and hardware support.
Microsoft throws in the towel on Vista
AM2 costs more because I have to spend about $200 for new RAM (DDR2) and can't use my old RAM that Athlon 64 3200+ (754) used. though you have to trust that your board manufacturer will support that, the only guarantee it'll work comes the day you plug in an AM3 CPU and it works... but it is expected to.
Should I use 64 bit Windows XP?
[snip] They are different, but "half the cpu resources" is still a great exaggeration. You do gain something from extra registers, but you lose something from larger And OS X can also run on 512mb. Yes, and like Vista, it doesn't like it much. Unlike Vista, you can't turn off lots of stuff to make it faster.

They can't just allocate more memory- they must create files. If they do that, then OS X can cache their data in the extra RAM, but whenever they access it they have to use file I/O APIs; that imposes inevitable overhead. I'd say then that would also be true of Vista. The onboard cache of the Cpu is supposed to
