Plus the number of drivers just isn't there, and you need a 64bit processor.
If I'm not mistaken Intel doesn't make yet 64 bit processor for the consumer desktop market, only AMD does.
Put those 3 factors together and you'll see why not many have experience with windows xp 64.
Good point Goldy........Intel does now make a few 64 bit processors but they certainly aren't as common as the AMD's. But it's still nice to get an answer......even it's "I don't know." Thanks to you and ASWnut!
