You might want to wait till the Service Pack 1 is released. Microsoft is supposedly to launch it in the first quarter of this year, though, rumours got it that it will be available in the next few weeks.

This is a wide topic and, i believe, it is best that you do a proper search on the net on the subject. For a start, you can refer Here - Choosing between Vista x86 32 bit or x64 64 bit.

Basically, your pc system must be compatible to run them.

I have installed Vista on few machines. Personally, I don't like it as it is resource intensive and unnecessary windows security warnings [though it may be tweaked]. The interface, however, is impressive.

If you only have 1GB of memory, the system lags badly.

Strangely, there are few problems that I encountered:

01. A new HP printer, even with the latest driver installed, is not responding well with Vista OS.

02. Installation of some software programs gives 'weird' problems. The program Spybot requires Administrator rights before you can delete/fix problems. Uninstallation of programs often hang towards the end of the process.

I believe all these will be fixed with the SP1.
