Well, as its the holidays, and our desktop PC is running dog slow, its time to format and reinstall the stuff we want... Perfect opportunity to see about upgrading the OS from XP home.

The system is an AMD64 x2 4400+, 7800GTX gfx and 2gig RAM.

I've looked around for XP Pro x64 to buy but cant seem to find it now - but there is a 120day trial...
Otherwise, vista, but cant really afford it at the moment - is there a trial for that?

What do I need to know about software compatibility for programs and games? if moving to 64 bit OS's?

ORRRR, should I stick with XP home.
