So I figured I'd make a new post sharing my feelings
I tried Vista when it first came out and, as most people, wasn't thrilled. I just got a 1TB HDD on black friday, so i figured I'd install a second OS and give Vista a shot again.
I installed Ultimate 64 bit. PC runs smooth and TF2/L4D got about a 30-40 up in FPS which is really impressive. Most areas I'm getting 60-80 and really crowded drops down to 40-50 which is obviously still quite playable. So that's my short story... If you've been considering upgrading/ thinking about the dif between actually using all 4 gigs of your ram and 64bit vs 32 and DX10, I'd say try it out.. I havent had any problems with any of my programs
