Did Windows XP x64 ever get the Diver and Application support it needed?

Hi

I havent seen or used x64 XP since about September 05, when I belive it was young, spotty, and nobody liked it. Did it ever get the drivers and support is so desperately needed when I last saw it?

Basicaly, is it a worthwhile upgrade to x86 XP? Or do the issues outweigh the benifits?

Cheers

Is it a worthwhile upgrade to x86 XP just to possibly use 4GB RAM if I buy it?

Currnetly runnung an E6400 that will be OCed to 3.2Ghz, 2GB DDR2 PC2-6400, 8800GT on a GA-P965-DS3 Mobo. This is my main PC used for games etc. Im toying with the idea of another 2GB of DDR2 PC2-6400, and figured Id best get an x64 OS to make use of it. Ive got a Vista x64 install if I want to use it, but I dont really, going to give it another year or so yet to become a viable upgrade. I will probubly dual boot however.

So its worth ditching x86 XP for x64 and then moving to x64 Vista in the future?

If you are thinking of getting a 64-Bit OS consider Vista. Unless you need XP for software/hardware reasons.

Or the fact ive used Vista since leaked betas and never yet had a version that hasnt had issues. Ive got a Vista OEM key from Uni I havent yet used. Going to get an XP x64 key from uni also. Free software, I love it!
