Xp 64

[DreamThrall]

Is it worth getting the 64 bit version of XP? How does it compare for gaming? Development? Will my 32 bit apps run well?

Don't bother....theres really no performance increase....driver issues etc.
Though most things work fine now...there is basically zilch performance difference between running XP64 and XP32.....

Yes, I heard drivers were a big issue in XP64.

32bit games won't see any performance difference and you are going to run into issues finding drivers for some of your stuff. ATI, Nvidia and the like have 64bit drivers but I don't think it is worth it. If you have access to the Vista beta...that is a better option to try. =p

Well, gaming is a big issue, but the most important is that it is stable for .NET development in Visual Studio.
