At the moment its not really woth gettin 64 bit windows, there not much softare made for 64 bit, and you would have to make sure all your drivers are avaliable for 64 bit. Overall xp 32 and 64 is basicly the same.

ok but lets say that if i get xp 64 for free should i install it ?

Where did you get 64 for free? If your talking about trading your 32 in for 64 then its not worth it. But if you received it from a friend who did not use it, of cource you should use it. Better than spending $100.

or you could wait a year or so for vista.

if all of your used applications can run on x64 then go for it but there isn't really much point at the moment, unless you got it for free, but its not worth trading your 32bit for 64 just yet.
