I'd stick with the 32 bit, but I'm not completely familiar with the advantages of 64 bit systems.
it the opposite. it use the ram better than xp 32 (going from 2 gig to 4 makes regular xp slower). it is 50 faster than regular xp. everything just isn't compatible with it yet. 64bit sp2 have made things better though
