I've been using Vista 64 for almost a year now. No complains. Games works perfectly on 32 bit mode.

I got to look into this.
I hear you won't notice a difference anywhere except in gameplay. There is no app out there right now to take advantage of the 64 Bit addressing.

Well, with 64-bit Windows, you gain at least 500MB to a 1GB of app-addressable memory because the addressable memory allocated to graphics RAM, etc. can all be moved above the 4GB limit. That would certainly help improve their performance, especially if you multi-task.
