Which Windows?

Hey fellas,
Just ordering my 64bit rig (dual-core amd 3800+) and was wondering what version of windows you think I should go for.

I've finally decided to make the move from 2kPro to XP, just wondering what edition I should get. Will XP home work fine on the machine, or would I be better off getting the 64bit edition?

I don't use restore points, I just backup to DVD regularly, so fellas, what windows should I choose?

Not much benifit from running xp64 at the minute. You can get most drivers for it now, but not many games/apps will benifit from it.

Plus Vista will be out at the end of the year.

How much RAM you got in it?

Personally I would stick to XP 32 as there's very little benifit upgrading to a 64 bit OS right now.

Use XP Home or Pro. If you needed XP X64 you wouldn't be asking
