I run vista 64 and i don't have any trouble with compatibility or drivers. Because you are getting 4gb of ram your best getting 64bit,32bit vista with service pack one will recognize 4gb of ram but it will only use 3gb of it so go for vista 64 or only get 3gb of ram

You would want the 64 bit OS to allow your CPU and ram to run at full capacity. 32 bit OS's (I have come to find out) will only allow a max of 4GB's of ram per machine. That means your video card takes up 512mb, system memory will take about 256mb, leaving your 4GBs at about 3.25GB's or so. Go with the 64 bit so you don't have to worry about that.

Otherwise, you're looking good to go!

Yeah other than the OS everything looks great. You should go to X64 as there is 100% support for it now and I have it on both my systems.
