Any advantage of XP 64bit?

I will be building a new PC here and I'm down to selecting my os. I use my PC for about everything a PC can be used for. I do music/video editing and a far amount of gaming. Are there many advantage to the 64bit version? How much of a gain will I be seeing in those categories? Thanks

Support 4gig+ and faster overall I think. Though alot of programs are not compatible, or so I heard.

Currently there is no _real_ benefit to running a 64 bit OS. While it is faster in theory, driver and software support is severely lacking.
