Would the slower HDD slow down my game play?
Khaled is correct, it won't matter much for gaming because most data is in RAM after the level loads initially. It effects boot times and application launch times and generally makes windows feel snappier.
Speaking of which, can i buy Windows Vista online 64 bit ultimate as a download? IS there something like that available or will i have to buy a hard copy and wait for it to ship? Much easier for me if i download and get the license online...
I highly recommend Windows 7 RC x64 which you can download now for free. I've been using it for a month and everything runs perfectly, most games faster than Vista.

It will expire by March 2010 so you have a long time to order it when it's released.
If you still want Vista you can download it from store.microsoft.com
