Sort of - there are now 5 versions available to beta testers. I haven't checked, but I have no reason to believe that there isn't a 32 and 64 bit version of each (I suppose you could therefore argue that there are 10 versions of Windows Vista...).mito said:

each vista copy will contain 32 and 64 bit versions. You will be prompted at install to select which you would like (if you have a 64 bit CPU) otherwise it will default to 32bit. There are not really 10 versions since the versions will be identicle and in this case not sold seperatly. And for those that complain about support. 64-bit vista software is in full swing. (drivers)
AWESOME news! Thanks man, I've been wondering about this myself, thanks for clearing that up.SugarCoat said:

My opinion about 64bit windoze (whether XP, 2003 or Vista), don't care about them unless you want to have more than 2GB RAM.
UT2k4 showed us there can be significant speedups from running 64-bit code in a game. Many other apps also like the extra on-chip registers in 64-bit mode.

From what ive seen so far VISTA wont ask what OS you want ( 32-64 ) it autoinstalls the proper version according to the CPU it finds installed.
That may change but since its MS were talking about i very much doubt it.

From what I've observed of this (sub-)forum, warez is both the norm and tolerated. I wish I hadn't found this particular part of the site as my general opinion of this place took a nose dive after getting involved in a few "Software Talk" threadsKombatant said:I love it how everyone's talking about warez copies in this thread and nobody seems to care

Not necessarily, people can have a legit copy of the OS by various ways, beta testers, people having MSDN subscription, people having made private copies (legal in some countries)...

Beta Test is the keyword here....Although 5308 aint the latest one
It might be the "norm" but it's sure as hell not tolerated at all - any arsehole who is clearly and openly discussing illegal and/or illegally obtained software will get a permanent ban. That said though, as Ingenu has pointed, being able to directly tell if somebody is doing this isn't as obvious as may immediately seen.JHoxley said:From what I've observed of this (sub-)forum, warez is both the norm and tolerated.

Users should all be aware though that we don't have to have direct evidence though to delete messages, edit threads or close accounts - if we genuinely suspect that a user is abusing our system for illegal activities (and they do not respond to any public or private requests), then they're gone. If any general user also suspects such cases, then report the post immediately.
And as a final general warning, if anybody thinks that a simple link to an ISO site is harmless, then think again.

is it too much trouble to make 32 bit games run on 64 bit drivers? any bang for the effort?
other than farcry 64bit patch, are there any 64 bit pc games around?
