If I left gaming, will vista be productive?
Also if I ditch vista, then should I install SP3 in XP?

Give up vista and go for xp sp3.
Vista Installation consumes 15-20GB and imagine what will be left after you install office photoshop and few other goodies. On the otherhand XP occupies 1-3GB at max that leaves enough room for most apps and games.
And for the games you have chosen to play(most of them are directx 9 I guess) XP is the best bet with max fps.
But Vista has its own features, ex more stable than its predecessor & launches apps more quickly. Get a system that could maximize its output otherwise end up saying vista - a hogger.

I have heard it doesn't get installed. Anyway I can run 64 bit on 32 bit?
Sorry for the laundry list of queries.

To realize the power of 64bit you need atleast 4GB of physical RAM to be installed on ur system. If am not wrong p4 D and onwards comes with EM64 arch that supports 64 bit oS. You can run 32 bit on 64 bit but not the other way.
