So with my new rig im building, will upgrading to vista ultimate 64bit be worth it?

I want to play the latest games coming out.. bioshock, will these work?

also, does anyone know if counterstrike source works?

is it compatible with older games released

thanks

So um, whats the rig?

And yes, it's worth it. I have repeatedly said it, Vista is not rubbish, and is actually better, if not as good as XP. (see sig for the worst of Vista)

Will it be able to play older games? All new games will be compatible too?

If it works in vista x86, then it'll work in x64... there might be a few games out there that don't work under vista, I don't know any, but I'm sure there's some out there.

The only thing that has to be 64bit are the drivers, it's backwards compatible with programs It would be a crime not to have a 64bit OS on a setup like that
