Been running the Vista 64 version without any problems.

I've noticed that gameplay seems smoother. These drivers were tweaked for games like Crysis, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Hellgate London, and World In Conflict.

Been playing Loki: Heroes Of Mythology, haven't tested with any RTS's other than C&C 3, and haven't test with RPG's like Neverwinter Nights 2, Dungeon Siege 2, Titan Quest, and haven't tested with Quake 4.

I've noticed for me at least, that Vista 64 is a more stable gaming platform than 32bit XP, once I got the latest application compatibility fixes, critical updates installed and the latest drivers for my soundcard, among other things. On 32bit XP, was always getting a squeal of death from my soundcard, which was partly bios setting, driver, and partly WindowsXP, I don't have these problems on Vista 64.
