Normal xp only sends out 32 bits of information at a time (hense why its a 32 bit os). you can't tweak it to send out 64 bits of information cause the os just wont know whats happening. So basicly you have to get xp 64bit for it to have any effect on speed and what not. Although 32bit xp will still function, you wont see much of a speed difference.

I am running standard XP and I do notice a speed difference. My 3500+ out-performs my friend's P4 3.7 Ghz.
