I recently loaded Vista 64 HOme Premium on an extra Raptor i had in my PC. I have had the OS in my Software Library, but didn't use it on my new rig because I didn't see enough a difference on my Benchmarking. NOw, that I had loaded GTA IV on my I7 rig it pissed me off that I couldn't run GTA IV at Very HIgh settings. Well, now that I loaded the 64bit OS the futuremark tests are almost no different, but there is definetly a difference when it comes to playing a VRam dependent game like GTA IV.

cLICK on this link to see the GTA Benchmark Details. They are saved on Word Pad by default through the benchmarking utility. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...benchmarks.jpg
This is just information that I thought would be useful to someone out there.
Feel free to post any other benchmarks comparing 32-bit and 64-bit OSs.
