Is 64 bit Fedora OK? With which CPU?

|  Running WinXP 64

I don't think that this is the case.  The larger address space can
make really fat programs wallow better.  Database programs are the
standard example.  You don't even have to have more than 4G of real
memory to see this, but I'm sure that it helps.

Most of the advantage requires the program to be native x86_64.  Not
being a follower of MS Windows, I don't know what MS Windows
applications are available in native x86_64.
