I got a copy of 64 also but never installed it.
I got it when it first came out through work but read about driver issues.

besides the ability to access 4gigs of ram in the OS, is 64 bit any faster?

Seems faster, but then I installed it at the same time as my velociraptor drive, which screams.

I need the extra ram in daily work so that makes a huge difference for me, and I have one version of a 64 bit app that moves along much faster than it's 32 bit sibling. I have only had one driver issue, which was an eight year old piece of hardware that the vendor quit supporting a few of years back. It also has a problem with Vista.

It seems remarkably stable so far. No CPU munching rogue apps, no blue screens, though I never got that many BSODs with XP.
