XP x64 and Gaming

[spyder003]

So I've messing around with XP Pro x64 (64 bit) the past couple of days. I ran the Source video stress test on XP Home today and got an average of 50 fps. I ran it in x64 and got 80 fps. Even though CS:S is a 32 bit game, I wonder what's up with that... Maybe there's something to be said for 64 bit gaming?

I can't wait until Far Cry 64 comes out :D

Anyone else messed around with this?

You mean a clean hard drive? I just created a small partition for x64 with Partition Magic, so I can dual boot Home and x64.
