Ok down to the point on WinXP

[Overkill[TBP]]

Ok guys and girls, Is WinXP, when it come's out, worth getting?

This question may have been asked before and I just never saw the answers, but I have concerns on wether or not to get it, Yeah I like newer versions of things, and I like to fiddle with things, but I'm also a online gamer, so is it worth it? Is it worth buying and installing clean or keeping a previous OS on a Dual Boot or another hard drive? Or is it a piece of ****?

I heard something about some OS not supporting 32bit games, and only 64bit, I assume that is XP, and XP was built on Intels new processor format, but is that true? I'm an AMD user all the way. Can anyone fill me in here?

Thanks.

XP is still 32bit OS. Future version of it, intended for professional use, will be 64bit (a.k.a Windows 2002, or Windows .NET project, as I heard).
I've already tested few builds of XP, it still kinda buggy, and slower that 98SE and even 2000, but has many features inside that should help newbies, which are not used to look for third-party solutions for their needs (as CD-burning, for example).

As for me, I will consider reinstalling it instead of 2000 Pro when it's out and final, but will still dualboot with 98SE http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
