A while ago, somebody posted to the effect that XP64 was only useful for
rather specialized needs and added no speed or function for most common
uses. I believe it's the dual processor/core that really picks up a some
things, especially PS, starting with maybe PS7(?), certainly by PSCS(8).
XP64 sounds to me like a solution in search of a problem. I personally
wouldn't touch it except perhaps pre-installed on a new system. Then I
could migrate things to it at leisure.
