Be careful and do some research.
64bit Vista is very different than 32bit! 64bit vista includes a requirement for kernel drivers to be signed. Thats an expensive and long process for developers and its doubtful that you'll see HP shelling out the time and money to have the drivers for a deskjet 650 to be signed.

What that means practically is that a lot of devices are not going to work, at least right away, with 64bit vista.
