The difference? One is 64-bit and the other isn't...

Microsoft's XP64 support seems good enough but it's the third-party apps that you have to watch out for. The vast majority run without issues, some will lack certain features (eg. Explorer intergration), and a few will crash the computer entirely (Objective, I'm looking at you).

I'd stay away from XP x64 because it's had a variety of driver issues, etc. If you really want a 64 bit OS I'd go for Vista x64 which is generally problem free.
