I normally take the line of unless you need to upgrade, don't bother.
Well a friend of mine really needs to upgrade (can you believe she's running a 266MHz?) so I'm giving her the guts of mine (plus a new powersupply) and upgrading mine
The advantage of the AMD64 is that it runs 32bit apps fantastically but is future ready (if things go 64bit)
So it's not a 64bit struggling to run 32bit, it can do both without emulation.

Just downloading any drivers I might need as going to do a rebuild to clear out any rubbish on my system.
I just know I'm gonna forget something tho!
