    Oh boy not good for what i'v been hearing Vista (64 bit) and xp games. I Looked at the list of xp games that are compatible with vista.

    These are the games I want to play that are compatible

    1.Alien Vs Predator 2
    2.Counter Strike
    3.Halo CE (needs a update download http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=1884)
    4. Battle Feild 2 (but as major issues)
    5. Battle Feild 2142 (32 bit and 64 bit)
    6.Counter-Strike Source
    7.Star Wars - Empire at War (32-bit/64-bit)
    8. WOW
    9.Unreal Tournament 2004 - (The text to speech engine switches from the game engine to the one supplied with Vista, if you don't get voice taunts from other players, check your control panel text to speech voice to make sure it works.)


    Ok so its good to know that vista will run these games but the games that have a 64 bit and a 32 bit do I have to buy the 64 bit version of the game since I have vista 64 bit? Can I buythe 32 bit games? A lot of the 64 bit games have problems with vista. So wil i still have problems installing them even though they are compaibile? I would get the 32 bit vista but i can't since my model only comes with vista 64 bit. Also with battle feild 2 do you guys run mp with any problems?

    I run BF2 and TF2 (Steam) on Vista x64 without any problem. Vista x64 emulated the 32 bit layer so you should have no problem running any of those games.
