I understand that 64-bit is the best. However, I've heard that there may be compatibility problem with 32-bit programs. Is this compatibility issue a major enough issue for me getting a 32-bit OS or is 64-bit Windows Vista still better, despite the compatibility issue?
I will mostly be using this for development purposes, but I may sneak in a few games on the side. 🙂

The biggest problem with 64-bit is driver support. Vista 64-bit requires that all device drivers are signed, so if you can't get signed device drivers for your peripherals you can't use them in Vista.
