Thanks for the feedback.

I'm mainly looking at xp64 simply to be able to address more than 4gigs of system memory. (Or 3.5G if you want to be particular about it.)

Yea, I know driver issues can be a real pita. (sadly)

Yes, Linux on x64 is amazing. I run that at work and love it. I was optimistically thinking memory and process handling under xp64 would be an improvement.

Hmmm, time to go digging around on comparos....

Thanks!
