amd 64 3500+
2Gb ram
320Gb sata hard drive
ati radeon 9550

my system is 64-bit but i was wondering if you think i should go xp64bit edition.
some people say it has no advantages and often driver issues etc.
what do you think?

and secure then the 32 bit. if you can partition your drive as was suggested,
or install on a spare, i think you should give it a go (i ran the betas, RCs and the oem finale as my only OS, so i would do it, just 'cause you can ). just make sure
you have your drivers (x64 only) for your chipset/audio/video/storage (x64
ati and nvidia video drivers come preinstalled ). i was runing four raptors in raid0
under x64 xp...talk about fast B)

a combo os system can be fun, or as the possible afore mentioned boot loader
problems, a pain. right now i'm triple booting with 32 bit windows (dvd burner problems
in x64 for me), and a few vista betas.
