Keep in mind that there are a lot of incompatibilities with 64bit, such as older device support (because generally you need 64bit drivers) and a lot of open source/cheapo applications may not be compatible. | No. He is right. It is 3.2GB with Windows. The rest is set aside. Difference Between 32 Bit (x86) and 64 Bit (x64)
Saxon linked to the other thread. There is all the information that one would want to know about the difference.
Moved to Windows.

wrong. there is a big increase. you can gain up to a 50 percent increase on the same spec machine if you have software specifically use for 64 bit. I use 64bit to do my video encoding and it kicks 32bit but.
xp 32bit can work with 64bit stuff but it wasn't design for it

Performance Shootout: Vista 32-bit versus Vista 64-bit - Final Thoughts: What's Going On? - OS, Software & Networking by ExtremeTech Quote:
Final Thoughts: What's Going On?
Running 64-bit applications on a 64-bit OS doesn't yield clear cut results in these types of benchmarks. Part of the problem is the relatively small data sets used in the 3D rendering tests, where most of the pure 64-bit benchmarks were run. We'll be looking into larger data set rendering tests for future use. If anything, the Cinebench 10 test indicates what moving to 64-bit can do, under the right conditions.
With video and photographic applications, you'll also see mixed performance—some things will run faster, some cases slower.
The results for gaming was the most intriguing. As many users may have experienced, particularly with games like Crysis and Supreme Commander, modern PC games often push up against the 2GB limit. Given that an application gets its own 2GB partition when running on 64-bit Vista, that means a big game gets just a bit more memory than it would on a 32-bit OS.
On the other hand, 32-bit apps running on Vista 64 have to "thunk" through the WoW64 (Windows on Windows") subsystem, which is how 32-bit Windows apps run on Vista 64-bit. With games, at least, it seems that having that extra bit of space in the memory partition helps more than the thunking hurts.
Read our Vista SP1 Performance—Worth the Upgrade? review.
In general, though, the situation with 64-bit applications and 32-bit applications on Vista 64 isn't mature yet. While a user running large data sets will almost certainly see improved performance, users with less demanding needs may actually see reduced performance. As always, check with the software supplier, and see if you can run a few tests of your own first.
The bottom line: 64-bit Vista is certainly viable from a performance perspective, but still has a ways to go. Now if we can get all the apps developers to think in 64-bit mode, maybe we'll get better performance all around. But don't forget to stock up on memory.

Its to bad that article is for Vista and not XP. This whole topic is about the performance of XP, not Vista. XP X64 is based off of Server 2003 which is much better coded than XP was itself. So i would agree with Eric that there can be a major increase. Cause the code used for XP X64 is at least 2-3 years newer than what it was for XP 32 Bit.

I'm running XP x64 edition (nlited) with 8GB DDR2-1066 @ 5-5-5-15. I've got it running screamingly fast.

has xp64bit figure out the killing usb hdd issue when you copy files to it?
