Windows Pro 64bit

Drivers need to be 64-bit.
Games and applications can be 32-bit and can run on AMD 64 systems with no performance loss.

Are you going to dual-boot? The drivers really aren't too bad. Anti-virus is going to be a problem-- but if you dual-boot, you can boot into xp and scan/defrag the volume from there.

How would it be faster in x64 then?

I am kinda suprised you didn't see an improvement in speed. When I installed x64, I noticed it was faster than when my rig was OCed (it was installed with my rig at stock). When I opened up the FSB to about 270 it was incredibly fast. I gained lots of points in 3dmark 03.

I would assume that it is faster since the overall core is faster in my experience.

No, that wasn't the case. In fact, almost everything 32bit stayed the same or was right in the area (lower and higher) than on XP. Is there a built in benchmark for UT2004? I would be happy to test that too.
