Is anyone running windows xp 64 and can comment on it? Should I just go with windows xp instead and wait for vista?
 
Also, I think I am enrolled for the vista beta program. MS keeps sending me emails for their beta software but I don't really check it out anymore because I'm busy and not really into the whole scene that much. If I do and can get a copy of Vista beta 1, would it be worth while to install? Is it still extreamly buggy with tons of memory leaks? What drivers do I use? ect....
 
Any info would be nice. Thanks

I would stick with Windows XP 32 bit for time being.
Windows XP 64 and Vista will NOT have all the drivers you require.
You can try dual booting, so if you have some free space on your HD, you can install XP 64 on a seperate partition to try it out and if things don't work out, you can still switch back to your 32 bit Windows.
