Question about WindowsXP 64 bit

I am going to build an Athlon 64 system soon and will probably purchase WindowsXP 64 bit to go with it.

Do I need to use specifically 64 bit hardware drivers or just use the drivers which are available for the 32 bit version of WindowsXP?

You need 64bit drivers. I suggest you look around to see if you can even get them before you purchase the OS.
