        I've heard X64 performs faster.

        Can't wait for Vista's 64.

            I have some problems with my SB Audigy "SE" super cheapo card when playing BF2 in hardware sound mode. And an other problem witch isn't related tot the OS. Butt if you don't count the problems, BF works very well.

            Also make sure you have plenty of RAM, x64 needs a litte more than its x86 counterpart.

              dont do it if lost or cd or use a mini image mout to run the game.. virtual DVD drive image mounting has lots of problems with X64

                  Take a note of all your hardware and make sure that 64bit drivers exist for all of them (Canon for example don't have a lot of 64bit drivers atm)

                    Of course you've heard that. That's the whole point of having a 64 bit OS. But you have to have a 64 bit machine to run it. However, because BF2 was not designed to run on a 64 bit platform, the game itself probably won't run any faster.
