Getting a bit Off-Topic but I'm extremely disappointed with XP x64. I
upgraded from Pro (32) thinking I'd basically get XP but with a few
broken apps (nothing I run). Turns out ActiveSync won't run in x64
despite M$ saying it does and HP won't write drivers for my LaserJet
1012 which is funny given the hpijs driver I thought was
supported(sorta) by HP (a couple of HP techs work on the prject I
thought). This means I have to use a Generic LaserJet driver that
doesn't give me the feature set I expect from my printer..

On the flip side, with the fresh install, VMware is actually quite
snappy. I can now compile X in VMware, listen to a mp3 stream in
winamp, and play The Sims 2 all at once without lag. Of course 2GB of
RAM will do that to ya. :)
