I just wanted to know if the 64 bit edition would support all my older files,
applications and programs. Is there a noticable diference in speed and
performance between the two additions? I have a AMD 64 Mobile Athlon.
Thanks a lot,

Ryan
 
There is no guarantee all your applications will work under either, its
trial and error right now since its beta. If your applications 32 bit or
64-bit native, they should work just fine. If some of those applications are
32-bit utilize 16 bit installers or uninstallers, they will not work. You
hardware devices also need to be fully 64-bit native to work with Vista x64
and possibly be Signed and Verified drivers.

Some persons have reported seeing significant performance improvements in
Vista x64 over Vista x86 on 64-bit hardware. But we must also take into
account that Vista in general is still not optimized for performance just
yet, its still a work a in progress.
