currently i am running xp pro 32bit on my e6300 (dual core)

would i see any difference switching to 64bit?

If you have to ask if you need 64bit, you probably don't!

I wouldn't bother to be honest, especially since Vista is out soon.

How can people know without asking if they have only just considered
it.

I've had x64 installed for nearly 18 months, and I've yet to have a crash *Touches all wooden objects in the vicinity*

It does have some problems with application compatibility (Lego Star Wars being the first example that springs to mind)
