I recently upgraded my computer's processor to a Dual-core 64-bit CPU (2.2 GHz), and my computer currently has 3 gigs of RAM. I'm running XP Pro right now and I'm wondering if I should switch to x64 edition (or get a 64bit Vista/7). I
may be getting more RAM soon and on my current 32bit OS it would be useless, but I could always put it in another system.
My question is if I should switch to a 64bit OS, and if so, what benefits would it have?
Also, if I do end up sticking with 32bit XP Pro, how would that affect my computer's performance in the long run?
