If I go with XP 64 as an OS, would there be enough software compatible with it to get by or has Vista 64 overshadowed XP 64 in terms of compatibility? Thank you.

Vista 64 will be more compatible than XP64, especially going forward, but both will probably be very good.
Either way, XP64 is pointless IMO. You only need XP64 for 4gb+ ram, and if you have 4gb ram, you should be running Vista, period.
Is it using ReadyBoost really worth it? Wouldn't it be better just to get more ram? I can get 2GB of ram for what a 4GB ReadyBoost usb drive costs.Originally posted by: George P Burdell

Seconded. Looking to the future, Vista 64 would be a better choice.
You can always turn off Aero and anything else that you don't need. ReadyBoost would perform well with 4GB of RAM.
