    64-bit by far. With a 32-bit OS, you can only use 4 gb of RAM. 1/2
    of that going to the OS and the other 1/2 going to any applications.
    Starting with SolidWorks 2008 SP3.1, Vista 64-bit is approved. I've
    run into little issues with SolidWorks 2009 x64 and Vista Ultimate
    x64.

    I think VISTA 64 bit is being used quite a bit now with SW. Just make
    sure that you have the drivers you need.

    one important point for your files, keep all your work on a separate
    hdd; vista has a habit of locking up failing to boot requiring
    complete reinstallation- it's bad enough when your os crashes, keep
    your work modular and spare yourself a lot of pain.
