Eth0 has released both 32 & 64bit versions of XP. Most of their releases have been 32bit versions. The last 64bit version was almost a year ago.

don't use the XP 64 bit, it's buggy and abandoned by MS themselves. I haven't heard one good thing about that OS, if your not gunna do gaming try windows vista ultimate 64bit, that runs smooth as hell if your just doing software, but when it comes to gaming stick to XP

I don't get it. I've never heard anything like that. I've also never come across any show stopping bugs or bugs that I haven't experienced 32bit. |
Last I heard MS isn't supporting the 64 XP anymore |

Hmmm
Windows XP SP2 was released on 8/10/2004.
Windows XP x64 SP2 was released on 3/13/2007.
But release wise, your choice would be either:
Microsoft.Windows.XP.x64.Corporate.With.SP2-XiSO (03/2007)
Microsoft.Windows.Vista.Ultimate.X64.OEM.DVD.READ.NFO-NoPE (05/2007)
Before switching to Vista x64, I used x64 XP since it's original release and it was an utterly solid OS to use, to say otherwise is nonsense. Using 64-bit native high end applications offers substantial performance benefits over their 32-bit equivalents.
Like Vista, x64 XP was criticized for it's awful lack of drivers, but eventually drivers started to appear (albeit a lot slower than Vista x64 offers now).
I'd recommend you make sure all your hardware has x64 drivers and if everything is supported then download x64 XP or x64 Vista and try using it for yourself. Make up your own mind about how the OS you choose performs.
Also, there's nothing wrong with Vista x64 either. With the "magical" hardware combination that I seem to have, it runs everything without any issues whatsoever (that includes games).

All my hardware was supported for Vista x64 and I'll back it up that it runs effing smooth and quick as hell, occasionaly it locked up for a moment and the usualy vista crashes, but if your going to game it still has it's problems. But if you do normal stuff like software like PS etc, I would say vista x64 all the way
