Windows XP x64... how stable?
I was looking at the Windows XP x64 page and was considering an upgrade to it. However, before I pay the $22 shipping, I was wondering if anybody here has used it. Are there any big bugs that you can see? Overall, do you think it is stable enough to use? Or should I wait til Microsoft comes out with some fixes?

I read that the x64 windows will actually run 32bit programs better than the 32bit windows...

I have been using it and it works just fine. You might have some problems with drivers for your hardware. If you have something like a video capture card, raid card, etc; make sure there are 64bit drivers for it.
