So, is there a list somewhere showing the games that would run on a 64 XP/Vista system?
Or are there simply none?

(Also asking about older games.)

What older games are you thinking about running?

All the games I've played on XP I now play on Vista, and they all work perfectly.

If you are talking about like 16-bit games (I don't think they work on x64 natively) you can get an emulator for that.

Don't know - older - DOSBox even maybe... or just things like that Warhammer 40k strategy game (which name escapes me every time...)

And your answer was not clear - I am asking about the 64bit version of the two, not compatibility of "XP games" and Vista.

Sorry - I'm using x64 Vista Ultimate

I'm not even familiar with what you're talking about (seeing as DOS is plenty older than I am), but I can run a 10 year old game (Starcraft) fine, having to change: to 256 colors and a 640x480 resolution in Properties of the shortcut.
