WindowsXP is getting old and Vista (formerly known as Longhorn) is on a relaxed schedule. AMD's successful push to 64bit CPU technology has been largely unanswered by software industry -- mainly due to a lack of a 64 bit capable Windows.

I've had a socket 754 amd64 system running for almost a year, at my last upgrade I planned to be ready for 64bit software.

How important is your operating system to your PC? I'm no computer scientist or guru, but I know that the operating system forms the foundation or environment in which other programs operate or run.
