I have never heard of XP-64.
And I am pretty sure XP supports a max of 3.2 gigs of RAM, no matter how much more you stuff in there.
Oh, and no DirectX 10 for XP either. Another downer.
The 64-bit editions do support more than 4GB of physical memory, but there's some nasty caveats listed there, including a strange 128GB limit. Also, I don't like the idea that DOS programs aren't supported... although I guess DOSBox will probably do the job.
DirectX 10 for XP, from what I've heard, *could* exist, but MS chose not to make it available. I don't know about DX 10 for Wine.
