i am expecting my new pc next week and i am unsure whether or to install vista 32 or 64 bit.
On the one side, 64 bit would take advantage of my system better, it is quite high spec. but aparently command and conquer tiberium wars and kane's wrath don't support vista 64 bit, is there a way around this?

Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars will run on 64-bit aswell as many other games like.
Crysis
Rome: Total War (Require latest patch)
Doom 3
Source Engine (TF2, HL2 ect)
All Hitman series
NFS: MW
NFS: Carbon
and lots more...

what about the issue of a 64bit os not being able to run a 32 bit installer?

As far as i know there are no issue with running a 32bit installer on a 64-bit system. Your unable to install a game that is 16-bit or has a 16-bit installer on a 64-bit system.
So games like C&C 1995, Theme Hospital, Rollercoster Tycoon 1 will not install.
