It's a bit of a shame that XP x64 was so exotic...
I have been debating whether to repair XP x64 on my dual core PC or do a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit to dual boot with XP x86. I had that thing running quite well with XP x64 and x86 dual boot before I upgraded the RAM and video card. Also, Windows 7 64-bit never failed at any application I could could run in XP x64.
