Vista - Phenom and vista 64

I have been reading that the amd phenom 9600 and vista 64 bit do not work very well together.I want to go to vista ultimate but if it is just a waste of money I am not going to do it with a broken 64 bit system.My mainboard is a phoenix technologies with a nvidia mcp61 rev a3 chipset and will there be a bio's update in the future to correct some of the problems and this is a gateway 7020 any help would be appreciated.

Check my signature below for the mains specifications of my computer. I'm running and AMD Phenom 9600 Quad with Windows Vista Ultimate x64, and have no problems.

The only problem I had with my computer (that I built only a few days ago), was with the hardware. The BIOS displayed my Phenom x64 as 1.6GHz per core CPU. A quick visit to ASUS website corrected that problem, one BIOS update later, and it now shows correctly as 2.3GHz per core.

The biggest factor that you should be aware of that could be a problem is the availability of x64 drivers for all your hardware, which from the look of things, shouldn't be a problem.

Vista Ultimate x64 rocks on the Phenom! Just about everything that previous lagged on my old AMD Athlon 64 x 2 4800+ now runs along smoothly.

(1) A Phenom will run Vista 64 perfectly well.

(2) Just make sure the appropriate Bios and Drivers are available for your intended configuration.

hello all,
i have built system with phenom 9600 BE and Msi K9A2 platinum,i have install vista x64 ultimate but i have problem, blue screen with error message about clock timing secondary processor...
please help me

I have an AMD Phenom 9600 with Asus M3a, 4gb ram ( 1 x 2gb ddr2 800, 2 x 1 gb ddr2 800), XFX 8800 GT XT.

Vista 32 bit seems to run fine, but when i run 64 bit, it seems ALOT slower, and performs badly. Any ideas as to why this is ?

Cheers
Evax

PS Im running latest drivers for nvidia and asus.
