Stay away from 64bit XP. . . it is absolute trash. That version of XP was an afterthought by MS and it is a nightmare trying to find drivers for it. I run 3 clients on a core2duo 2.66 with 4GB RAM and 64bit Vista with no trouble at all. I tried it with just 2GB of RAM and it was not really playable, even with the graphics turned all the way down.
Reading further, that's my impression too, kind of a duct tape job to tide us over 'til they did a real 64 bit OS. Well, no problem, I'm Vista-bound, for better or arrgh.

But hey, good news, I did the registry hack that's been floating around, and saw some definite improvement. It's not night and day, but it's noticeable. Awesome. It's hard to recommend that people of unknown savviness go near regedit, but in this case, I think it's simple enough to be recommendable.
