Default Guild Wars 64 bit?

I'm getting a new PC (AMD Phenom quadcore + ATI Crossfire setup) in a weeks time which is running Windows 7 64 bit. Will Guild Wars run ok on a 64 bit operating system?

Are their any notable issues when running Windows 7 64 bit I may need to be aware of?

It runs, and runs and runs. Win7 64bit will run it just fine.

The only problem I have with Windows 7 64-bit is that Firefox craps out sometimes. That, of course, may not be related to 64-bit vs 32-bit.

GW and TFC (an old Half-life mod) work just fine without any special settings.

The only issue I've run into on Win7 64bit is using Vent. The PTT hot key for Vent won't work with GW having the focus unless I'm running both GW and Vent as administrator.

Not sure if it's strictly 64bit related but something to keep in mind.

Are you using the 32Bit vent client? I use the 64Bit client and have not seen that issue.
