[blockquote]Just like that, you're on the 64-bit highway - living in the future. But wait, hold on there, space cowboy, do you really want Windows XP 64-bit Edition today? If you're a gamer, a workstation user, or just a casual desktop user, at the moment the answer is likely no. Sorry to dash your hopes, but moving to a 64-bit OS will not show huge performance increases immediately, despite the fact that your OS is capable of processing software in 64-bit chunks. In fact, like every new technology, there is a period of maturation involved, and even with a 64-bit OS working for you, it's still going to be a while before one starts to see the true benefits of 64-bit technology.
