No I understand it is, then you also have to think, why do they have the Vista 64 bit drivers for some interfaces but no 64 bit? That's because microsoft doesn't really give much support for it.

And that's cool that you're okay with it, I just think that vista robs a computer of all it's potential speed. I mean honestly, I benchmarked my PC with Vista and XP 64 bit versions and with XP you get at least a 150% speed increase. Vista is a huge memory hog, and I can't stand all UAC things.
