WinXP 32 or 64?

[dvd_maniac]

I'm getting ready to wipe my disk and start a fresh Windows install.
All my Hardware is 64bit compliant and I can find drivers for them all.
Whatever software I use that does not work in a 64bit envirornment, I can either find an alternative or live without except for Sage.
My question is whether Sage will work the same or will it work better on a 64bit system? Less/More stuttering, Stability etc...
I record using HD-PVR's, HDHR and 2250.
PROs and CONs of going 64bit with Sage welcome...

I'll call a 'me too' on this, especially if I am using a client/server model where the server runs 64bit, and the client runs 'whatever'.

What are your server specs? I was thinking about taking mine to the land of 64 bit...

Well, that's in flux. See other threads with my name on it. But protect your virgin ears...I've been pretty crabby today.

I'd like to move the server to an Athlon64 1.7Ghz with 2GB RAM. Headless...just a server.

The server I would run in 32bit because you'll have better luck with the drivers for your hardware devices and your java will be running in 32 bit. Now for a client I run a PC client with Vista 64. I use 4 GB of RAM and I have no issues running Sage on it. The performance in 64 bit seems much better for all the software I run on it. Rather it is 64 bit or 32 bit.
