I was wondering if anyone could tell me if i can run the 64 bit without any
problems, here are my system specs:

AMD athlon 64 processor 3500
2047 mb RAM
nvidia Geforce 6800

and is it any bette rthen the 32bit version
 
1 - it is a community release therefore shouldn't be treated as a
finished commercial product (there may or may not be problems, there
probably will not be full functionality until other manufacturers supply
Vista drivers)

2 - on a partitioned drive both 32 bit (on one partition) and 64 bit (on
another partition) run well on this machine.

3 - Beta 2 32 bit was far slower than 64 bit on this machine. So was
RC1 until activation and an update.

4 - while 32 is almost as fast as 64 bit on this machine it seems to hit
longer pauses more often than the 64 bit version does

5 - there is a "ready for Vista" check that may give the answers you seek

6 - this machine runs a dual core AMD 4800+ thingy, four Seagate
platters and 3 Gig RAM
 
It should do fine on 64-bit. The question is, are you ready for hardware
and software compatibility issues? You will more than likely run into more
compatibility issues with the 64-bit version than the 32-bit. Your hardware
and devices must have digitally signed drivers on 64-bit Vista. Make sure
your hardware has digitally signed drivers first before getting the 64-bit.
Most 32-bit apps should run on the x64 platform, but 16-bit apps will not.
If you have any 16-bit apps, you may want to stay with 32-bit.
 
How do i find out if my Graphics card has these drivers availible, i know my
mohterboard is compatible.
 
I wouldn't worry about the video card. I'm pretty sure it will work right
away with Vista using Microsoft's included drivers - even on x64.
 
might check the microsoft vista site and make use of the upgrade advisor.
