Default So, what advantages have you seen to running XP 64 bit?

Boot time is a big factor for me. Unbeliveably fast compared to XP 32 which
I have installed on two other partitions (one as a backup).

Some games seem to run better or at least the same.

I suspect we won't see great advantages for at least the next year or so
until Xp 64 gains critical mass. It's nice though to be at the front edge
of technology.

Now if I could only get my Canon scanner working I could probably dump XP
Pro 32.
