You are a brave man Nate Owens. I salute you
My 32 XP system is pretty stable right now and Im not sure what performance boost you get going 64bit (and do you need it?) Questions like Vista/XP compatibility worrys and license transfer hassles and so on, and where are the relevant upgrades and will you have to spend on new 64 bit software also dont inspire me. So Im very keen to hear how you get on.
It would be good if anew system improved the quality of work, but deep down inside we know this is a function of the artist and the machine while nicer to use will not be the case.
The only thing thats really tempting right now is the possibility of 8 rendering cores and can we get boards with two fast quad core AMD penom processors or even the pro processors. In the meantime a nice dell 30" monitor seems like a better investment imho.
So I wait to hear how your upgrade progresses and the pitfalls you encounter as there is high interest in this for many people
