I have a new hard drive comming and I have a legal copy of XP Pro x64 sitting in my desk. Have the drivers matured enough to where x64 would be a decent option? Or should I just keep using my tried and true XP Pro.

Why don't you just dual boot....

I see no point in dual boots personally, unless you need a version of Linux for some reason on the same PC as Windows.

Anybody have experience with XP64?
 
I'm using X64. I've gotten the only drivers that I've needed. I got my driver for my integrated 5.1 sound and for my nVIDIA video card. The Windows default network driver worked, so I didn't try installing another one.

I've only had a couple of programs not work for me so far. Alcohol 120% and Tuneup Utilities.

So were you able to get flash to work? I've heard some reports that it does, but some that it doesn't either.
 
I use to run a dual boot system. I only used the 64bit part for video editing (there was a difference of speed too) as a lot of stuff ddn't work with it

Flash works just fine with Firefox, if that's what you're talking about.

I was using the 64 bit Firefox for awhile, but I switched back to 32 bit for some reason. I don't think my bookmarks.html worked for it or something. That's not a big deal, just use 32 bit Firefox and it works fine.
