I'm doing this and am very pleased with the result. I also run a 64 bit Linux guest OS. Don’t forget the option of running a virtual XP machine as a guest on a 64 bit Vista host box.

I have two 64-bit boxes, both running XPx64 Edition. One dual-boots with Ubuntu x64. Last week I built one for a friend, with AMD64 X2 CPU and 4GB DDR2800. $75 Biostar mobo supports 8GB RAM. 320GB SATA II HDD. Parts, including a very handsome In-Win case, were $400 from NewEgg. It blazes running XPx64 and will be useful for years to come. 32-bit is history. Not hard work at all, although drivers may require some homework.
