I am enjoying it, there is really not much difference, loading apps is a little big quicker, it hasn't crashed once...the reason i did was because A. I could since i have a 64 big processor and the upgrade was free (besides shipping) and B. because x64 is built of off SMB Server 2003 core, so it is supposed to be extrememly stable
If you plan on putting it on your p4 2.4 i dont think it will work since it is not EMT64...

yup!

I did install it but i coulnt get a driver for my epson printer. So that kind of put me off and ive gone back to 32 till the drivers come out.

The funny thing that i noticed was my 6600gt graphics card. its overcloked to 580 gpu and 1.17 ram. normally runs at 50 idle and 60-70 load in xp with latest drivers. When i installed latest 64 drivers in win64 and clocked to exactly the same speeds. The temp were abouve 15 - 20 degrees lower and i have no idea why ? i obviously didnt change any of the fan setup or anything. Wierd!!
