| Deciding which Vista version to install can be a difficult decision and
| can really limit what you can do with your system. Here are practical
| hints which should help a user decide which version to install. I decided
| to write this guide after installing 64-bit and 32-bit vista systems on
| several test boxes.

|
| Conclusion:
|
| Most users with 64-bit hardware should install the 32-bit (x86) version
| of Vista.
|
| Vista x64 is the turning point for operating systems as they transition
| to 64-bit. Currently, however, the majority of users will be very
| disappointed by installing Vista x64. The lack of 64-bit drivers for
| most current hardware will be very disappointing and frustrating to
| most users. Why push for 64-bit now anyway? The performance gains promised
| by 64-bit will not be seen for years until 64-bit compiled versions
| of software is the norm.
