I was told this is a bad idea and it wont work with COD2 and I have to use the 32 bit version. Thanks
 
Sorry I was asking a ? can I run the 64 or do I have to run the 32. If I plan on playing games.
 
Lots of games here on 64-bit. Only reason to choose 64-bit over 32-bit though is if you have 4gigs of ram. If you don't its more or less a moot point at this time until at least more programs come out that utilize 64-bit.
 
Thanks guys. so I guess I will go with the 32. dont I have to do a complete reinstall if I want to go to the 64 latter. or if I want to add more ram..
 
Yup it will be a full reinstall for 64-bit. Its recommened you do a clean install anyways for operating systems but Vista does quiet a good job taking old files over and deleting alot of the old OS files that aren't needed.

Good luck and welcome to the forums :)
