Well i have a few games that were made before even windows XP was out so im afraid that if i go to a 64-bit OS they will no longer work.

I just cant take this 32-bit Vista. the ram limitations make running multiple apps impossible. and this really bad memory leak is terrible to. i have 4 gigs of ram and i want to take full advantage of it!

If you already have Vista 64 bit O.S. try it, but with Wins7 all most out, I'd rather buy that then another copy of Vista.

on the windows Vista Disk itself it says if you want the 64-bit version you just send in the 32 bit disc and they will replace it with a 64 bit disk

You don't have to buy another copy, you just go to the Microsoft site and give them your product key, then it's just 10 dollars for them to ship you the disc.

I know Bridge Commander works on Vista 64 for me, and I'm sure Galaxies will too.
