'k, so now I've got a computer with more RAM than the OS can address. It's a Pentium D with 8gb of RAM. I've done the research, and the Pentium D supports x64 extensions.

I've already got one solution: I've got a slice set aside to install Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit edition.

What's your word on upgrading the Windows OS? It's currently running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

I can get all kinds of Windows upgrades through work. XP 64-bit? Vista 64-bit? Vista 64 MCE? What's your opinion?

I'm afraid that's a "now tell me something I don't know" answer. I run Windows 2003 x64 servers at work, and I'm already planning to load 64-bit Ubuntu on the machine.

I'm particularly interested in experiences and problems with the different 64-bit windows workstation versions.

Sorry dude, can't help ya there. Just thought it might help. Good luck with the upgrade.

Got to catch some sleep and get back to work.
