Hi Joe :)

I just did a Google search and came up with these [url="http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en-GB&q=oblivion%2B64+bit&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8"]results.[/url]

Looks to me as though there's some debate on the subject, I imagine it's going to depend on your entire set up. I find that getting this game running properly with mods on just XP is a technical challenge and a half... so my suggestion is simply try it and see.

I run GOTY on Win 7 x64 without problems. I did not install Oblivion in Program Files, just to be sure.
