Hello! Nice system!

Good to see a few recent people ordering Vista64 - I know I'm not the only one Smile. If there are a lot of people adopting the OS I imagine a lot of the potential compatability issues will get ironed out.

I ended up going with the 32 Bit eventhough I have 4 Gb of RAM, but plan to upgrade in 6-12 months when it is a little more stable and SP1 is released.

Not touching 64 bit right now until I see it stabilize more.  Went with Vista 32 bit and will upgrade later also.  So far, 32 bit runs smooth as silk.  No issues at all.  All drivers and info is easy to access for this OS.

I went 64 bit and I would not go back.
I have run into only one issue I can't seem to get a fix for.
Flash does not seem to work in the 64bit IE.
But as they also gave you the 32 IE its not that big a problem.
 
Its been very solid for me. :)

it took them about 2.5 week for mine. and from what i read, it seems im a lucky one who got it faster and had no issues with their systems unlike others.
so thats at least how long you can expect before recieving your system.

It may take up to 3-4 days before you move to stage 1.  It may be faster now that they are over the hump of the back to school crowd.

I did not order Vista64 from DS but I installed it for the DX10 benefits.   Everquest 2 works on it no problem and that is a fairly picky game.
