not to mention you will be able to utilize your full 4G of ram.
Yes, let's not mention that - seeing as it's wrong.

The memory limit thing is 32-bit vs. 64-bit, not XP vs. Vista.
Yep, 32 bit can access 4GB however some of that address space is reserved for hardware.

So if he's replacing his OS it makes sense to go to a 64 bit vista, opening up the top 1GB of ram to actually be used, and fixing the dual view issue.

The issue with your dual view is indeed the unmatched resolutions. The solution is to get matching monitors and keep XP or upgrade to Vista 64.
