Upgrading x32 -> x64

[Guest Odie]

At the moment i am using windows xp home Sp2 x32 bit. and i am looking to

upgrade to a x64 bit version as apparently my pc will be able to run alot

faster... I meet all the system requirements, but im just wondering if it is

really the way to go... I mean will i still be able to play all the games,

run all the programs etc that i am using at the moment, and will upgrading to

x64 bit make any difference with the speed of my computer etc. Any help would

be greatly appreciated

 

Cheers
