From what I understand, one can install it on Vista 64, although I could be wrong. I'm considering installing Win64 as it would speed up my graphics and video editing. D2007 concerns me as I'm not sure if it is possible.

Thanks.
 
You should not install WinXP-x64 as it has _very_ poor (hardware)driver support, opposed to Vista x64, which has pretty good driver support (running it myself over here).
There must be very compelling reasons to be using XP-x64 else you should _really_ avoid it.

Btw, you could trie to install D2007 on a x64 OS... that would answer the question ;-)
I'm running D5 on Vista x64 without problems over here, it's just not very neat with the new graphic features of Vista (using the default Vista Theme), but other software has the same problem. I'd advise to just install Vista x64 and try it.

I'm holding off vista x64 till commodore(Delphi2010 ?) is released, then I will update my main development rig to x64, I see no reason to upgrade, except to support the full 4GB installed...

In the meantime we have to wait for Tiburon (Delphi2009) first.
