Not really sure where best to post this, possibly Operating systems, but im also interested in hardware compatibilty and overclocking potential.

I'm just about to go A64-X2, but am wondering, is XP-64 worth it yet?

I mean, is it faster than XP-32? I know when I first looked at 64-bit windows (back in pre-release) there were driver issues, software issues, and hardware issues, but have these all been resolved?

Any input from anyone appreciated.

I believe it's still on the imature side. The vast majority are sticking with 32 bit for now.
