And if I recall correctly that is a beta and it suffers from a severe lack of driver support. I know there was talks of an XP 64bit edition debuting in late summer, but the latest rumors suggests that consumers won\'t actually be able to buy a copy until winter. While I would love to be an early adopter (I usually am first in line for stuff), I don\'t think I can justify buying a CPU to run a BETA OS , while I hunt down drivers that may not even exist for the OS yet.

Just my two cents.

There’s a pre-release.  There’s also drivers from NVIDIA that are for the 64bit OS. With more to follow.  
Do u really think that developers will push 2 32bit cpu systems over 1 64bit cpu system that’s more likely to be the GAMERS choice system.  
I can guarantee that you\'ll have less waiting for games to use 64bit cpus to the best abilities quicker then dual cpu systems.

Even if u have a 64bit cpu and a 32bit OS, Drivers blah blah you\'ll still have improved performance on older/newer games.  As I explained to vid here, with Dual Cpu systems u can slow performance on programs/games that aren’t encoded for SMP, NUMA etc.  
Games don\'t have to be encoded to take advantage of 64bit systems.. Dual CPUs is another story.  
Developers are lazy man, they don\'t wanna screw around programming for dual processors as a standard. When they can easily program for single cpu systems and the 64bit cpu owners will still get improvements.

My computer? A piece of crap.
