Which Processor is Best For Vista? Is it a 32 Or 64-bit Dual Core Processor?

The requirements is very demanding for Windows Vista. Elsewhere on the internet, as far as the requirements which are there on official Microsoft site, it says that you need to have a modern processor which is around 1.8 GHz and 1GB RAM which I think is not at all enough as far as my experience is concerned. The system struggled to do even the simplest tasks like when you try to copy some files and at the same time try to install or uninstall any program. The windows update also was not working properly. Other eye candy stuff like Aero interface and Flip and Flip 3D effects struggled to work properly. I used Windows Vista on the below configuration for about 4 months and the result was pathetic.
Processor - AMD 64 3200+ (1.8 GHz)

Graphics - GeForce FX5200 AGP 256MB

RAM - 1GB RAM

Recently I upgraded my PC to the latest 8000 Series Nvidia graphic card and a Dual Core 64-Bit Processor and to PC to 2Gig of RAM and the results were outstanding for a low cost server.The one which was recently released I also installed, the latest Service Pack1 for Windows Vista. Latest configuration is given below.
Processor - AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ (2.2GHz)

RAM - 2GB RAM (PC-6400)

Graphics - GeForce 8600 PCI-EX

Now the computer was running smoothly as it was running on a dual core processor. All the stuff related with the operating system core performance was handled by the first core and other misc. stuff like playing games, watching movies, audio and video conversion was handled by the second core and super micro. The results were amazing. So overall the conclusion is that I tried all possible combination of hardware in the market starting from 32-Bit to 64-Bit processor, from single core to Dual core processor, from onboard graphics to dedicated graphic cards, from AGP to PCI-Ex graphic cards and the end configuration fit for Vista which I think is best for Windows Vista is as given below.
Processor - Intel or AMD Dual Core or Quad Core (2 GHz and above)

RAM - 2GB and above (at least PC6400)

Graphics - Atleast 256MB card (Don't go below latest 8000 series PCI-Ex card)

HDD- Atleast 80GB Hard Disk Drive.

Optical Drive - DVD-ROM Drive

All the above recommended solutions given does not reflect any official authority documentation or recommendation and are my personal opinion.So its totally up to you as to what configuration you go for.
