xp pro x64

[gearhead]

Has anyone tried the new x64 xp pro? I was thinking of getting it and I know it wont improve my games any, is it better/worse than regular win xp. Is it buggy?

Since it isnt officially released, its going to be buggy.

my suppliers show it available, and it was officially released by microsoft
