I'm mainly interested in WinXP64 because it's designed to take advantage of the AMD 64 bit processor instruction set. This alone will provide a significant performance increase, especially when it comes to high end graphics software. I also anticipate many new programs to be developed with the 64 bit/multi-core processors in mind.

I was considering going with the FX-57 or going multi-core too (the motherboard can do both), but right now it's $200 more for 200 Mhz. I'm not convinced it's worth it.
