Does anyone have experience with 64bit Vista? Is it more stable than the 32 bit? If I use Vista, explorer has to reset itself probably 3-4 times a week and once a month I have to repair the OS from its installation dvd once a month. It really is on the border of unusable over here on my q6600 machine. I am about ready to remove the dual boot capability and just run vista for testing in a virtual machine.
