Quote - All is good here now. I only have to install the apps I will use on it. Anything special I need to know with that?

Only that you should try and get native 64 bit versions of every app that you can. And stay far far away from any registry tweakers you may have been using in xp32. xp64 has a slightly modified registry that can get corrupted if you try and use a 32 bit tweaker/tool. Firewalls also need to be native 64 bit or they wont run. A/Virus software though should normally be fine even if it's 32 bit. And get SP2 for xp64 if you havent already.

Oh and enjoy the fact that most worms/virii out there, being 32 bit themselves, dont get low level access in xp64. Nor do they know what to do with the 64 bit system files that xp64 runs. So you are generally safer now then you ever were with xp32 :p
