I recently tried to create a dual boot situation on a new gateway 64 bit
Vista machine and found that when running 32 bit WinXP the video card would
not work because there were no backward compatiable drivers for it. So what
these other guys are saying is true..... there is more of a driver problem
out there now. I also found that some 32 bit software runs slower under 64
bit.

Thanks Barry and Don for your input

So the hardware is really the main issue and aside from that the
software can manage towork under both environment
