I had a LOT of driver issues with 32 bit vista, when i upgraded to 64 bit vista most of them went away. I still have some issues but have worked a lot of them out. a friend of mine has vista to on a different build and has more problems. I think a lot of the problems with vista has to do with drivers, vista is more compatible with some hardware then others. both me and my friends systems are custom built, with the same processor, but everything else is different. i use a gigabye mobo, his is ASUS, Im an ATI fan and hes NVIDIA, stuff like that, but stat wise our computers are very similar.
