no, it is recommended to run vista 32bit on that processor. stay away from 64bit vista for a while, there are not many programs that can be used on it, or much less than 32bit.
so go ahead install 32bit vista on your athlon64 CPU .
i am running vista 32bit Ultimate edition on this system :
AMD64 Athlon 3800+ X2
2GB DDR 2 667mhz Ram
160GB seagate HD
ATI radeon X1650 PRO
etc .....
and i have no problems, it actualy runs better than my xp did, and alot smoother too ...
If you do not have 2GB of memory, i advise you to add more ram.
It runs ok on 1gb, but better on 2GB.
on 1GB of ram you can feel that it gets slow especialy when you have a few programs open at the same time, on 2gb it is smooth no matter what you do ....
