Default Is 64-bit Vista much better than 32-bit Vista

Given the computer is able to support 64-bit a la Core2 Duo/Quad?

I don't wanna hear your stupid "Vista sucks" replies either

I have 32 and I don't know what 64 would do differently. But 32 is nice

64 > 32... but some hardware/software doesnt work as smoothly, or have drivers to run @ 64 bit.

Vista 32 is better than 64 as the only thing 64bit has over 32bit is you can use more than 4gb of memory but hardly anything out there aside from some cad software and a few other programs don't use more than 3gb.

Oh and Vista sucks.. XP 32bit ftw.

It's called battery life.

With my 2.2 I'm still getting 4+ hours running heavily on high brightness
