Hey

My buddies and I are looking into making another box just for shits and giggles. Probably we'll do video editing on it, or rendering, or whatever we can do to take advantage of Cool New Technology. We're thinking of looking into the AMD64bit processors (esp. the dual processor boards) and running the free Windows XP and also 64 bit linux.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Would you recomend that as a fun little adventure over just a straight-up dual processor board?

Anything that 64 bit really excels at compared to 32? I'm open to any input on the subject.
