As soon as Ati or Nvidia start releasing decent x64 drivers for their cards we will start releasing ours. Current drivers are simply not worth the hassle to modify and release. Hopefuly this might change in the future but until then i guess the anwser is No.

I will not install that crap (sorry for language) os just to prove something ...it's suspiciously unstable and has loads of issues with variuos software, like antiviruses
1-2% improovement it's not acceptable for me ... it's like nothing

Until they start building software around the x64 arquitecture i see no reason to use it. The improvement is so small now because most software is build arround x86 and that makes it more or less useless.

Seems like a lot of people are having all sorts of problems with XP 64bit. I didn't really expect a perfect 64bit OS but really... Looks like I'm going to be using SP2 x86 for quite a while. I for one am not one of those "Waiting for vista" people.

Vista it's just another crap OS ...

why spent money on 2Gb of ram just to run Vista smoothly
it "eats" up about 512Mb ram with minimal services and settings

Stay away from Windows XP 64 and move to Linux.

Windows XP x64 is much more stable than normal XP, as it's built from Windows 2003, especially made to be fast and stable, for servers. It can't be at the same level with XP. Just look at how many updates are for XP since Windows 2003's release.
As for the drivers, they work and there are plenty of drivers from decent manufacturers.

I use XP X64 with SP2 on my gaming Machine I love it, and if I were to buy another OS today it would be XP X64. It will be supported long after 32 bit XP as it it tied at the hip with Server 2003

I have 'Call of Duty 2' 'Far Cry' 'Battlefield 1942' 'Battlefield Vietnam' 'Company of Heroes' 'MS Flight Simulator X' on it and all work well to my knowledge

there is NO official SP2 for XP64, you are using an RC release
