    Arrow Should I start using Vista!

    I have got hold of a copy of win Vista, I am not sure if I want to start using it or not.
    First question is how much space will it take I only have 20gb of empty space on my other partition, and how much memory does it consume, and is it true that The 64-Bit version consumes more RAM?
    Also should I go 64-Bit or 32-bit
    Will I have compatibility issues if I use the 64-bit version

    PS getting drivers isn't a problem


    Please help me -_-

    20GB is plenty of space for the OS, but you might not be able to install much else.

    64-bit is really good for dual/quad core and 4GB of ram, otherwise it's exactly the same as 32-bit and you won't notice any different.

    I've tried both and at the moment I'm running 64-bit and 32-bit apps run normally, never had any compatibility problems, but sometimes you will want to download the 64-bit version of some program if they have it. And I don't think it's true that 64-bit consumes more RAM, if anything it consumes less.
