Vista to support 64 bit?

[Guest]

Im buying a new PC, slowing custom buying hardware over the next few months
and Im building it with VISTA in mind.
I was wondering if anyone knew if VISTA will run in a 64bit environment? As
far as I know its just a 32 bit OS with a hungry memory bandwidth.

I was thinking Intel 775 dual core or AMD 64, not sure if it matters.Is
there a point to buying a 64bit CPU if your using a 32 bit OS?

Yes, some issues have been noted with the newsgroups and already reported to
Microsoft.

As for Vista, you should check the microsoft.public.windows.vista newsgroups
for better information about Vista.

Yes, Vista will be available in 64-bit versions. That's the version
I'm beta testing.
