I have Vista x64 installed myself. The advantage of running the 64bit version of Vista isn't just getting over the 4gb limit of ram.
Supposedly the 64bit version is more stable and with some added security that isn't in the 32bit version. Signed drivers come to mind for instance. While you can install unsigned drivers in the 32bit version, the 64 bit version refuses to install them as it could compromise stability.
Of course there is the matter of whether your hardware even has 64bit drivers, though if it's a modern pc there should be. Microsoft now require all hardware vendors to make both 32bit and 64bit drivers to get WHQL certification.
For security reason, 64-bit is much better. However, the ability to use drivers that aren't signed is a huge plus. Namely for devices that are so out of date that you'd end up using the XP drivers instead, which many work just fine.

lol the comp won't even accept the disc.
@op: how bout this? u post us the specs, and tell u if it can handle vista decently. dunno y i didn't think of that earlier.
EDIT: 2gigs of ram? son don't even think about gaming (unless u turn like everything off before u do. and i mean everything)
Oh...bull. I game with 2 gigs just fine. I don't know, maybe Vista just hates you?
wat kind of games r u playing? and yeah i no ram isn't the only factor.
Let's see, the most intensive ones:
Bioshock
Half-Life 2
Oblivion
At this point though, I'm getting sick of gaming in general especially computer gaming.
