XP 64 Bit, to go...or not to go

Hi everyone

As you can see from my computer #1 i have a AMD 64 bit processor. Now with all the hype around the new XP 64 Bit edition, i have to ask...is it worth doing? I want to know from some people what they think of the new OS, any bugs, pro's and con's, etc. I have been so tempted, like the rest of us addicted to computers, to try out the lastest and greatest but i want to make sure it's worth the money before i spend it. Also wondering if there are any specific programs you can think of that will not work on the system...driver problems i heard were the biggest complaint. Anyways thank you for your time.

IMHO, no. 64-bit software technology isn't really widely supported.
