I'm not too sure about Vista. I don't need all that visual rigamarole eating up CPU cycles. I want my PC to remain a PC and not turn into some kind of Mac.
XP64 works fine on my rigs (Athlon64 3500+ and Athlon64x2 4400). The main problem is drivers. I'm rather lucky, I have nVidia chipsets and graphics cards, and those work out of the box with XP64. Other chipsets and graphics cards have quite a lot of problems AFAIK.
I've tested both Poser 5/6 and Vue 5 Infinite on XP64. They run in WoW mode, about as fast (or slow) as under native XP32. MS did a pretty good job with their Win32 emulator there. Stability of Poser and Vue was the same as under XP32.
When 64bit versions of Poser and Vue are released I'll switch to XP64. Not Vista. At this time there is no good reason to use XP64, I stick with XP32 for now.
