My new Core 2 Duo is supposed to come on Wed. and I still haven't decided whether I should reinstall my 32bit version of vista or install the 64bit version. Assuming I'm able to even find drivers for everything, will all of my 32bit programs work? What programs are available in 64bit and is there a significant increase in performance?
I have heard that the 64bit version shows an improvement in video decoding and such. I will be using this computer simultaneously as a Media Center PC hooked up to my HDTV as well as my main rig, so would it make sense to use the 64bit version?
