A well written article with all kinds of gaming benchmarks comparing 32 and 64 bit Vista. The bottom line is right now there really is no difference. If you're building a new system I would still go 64 bit even though there is no advantage in gaming. Also I read an article yesterday comparing 3GB, 6GB, and 12 GB of RAM and there was absolutely no difference except in certain multimedia applications such as video rendering. So the old adage that you need a 64 bit OS to utilize the extra RAM (above 4 GB) is true but there really is no advantage.
