Question Mark 64-bit Windows XP -- Do some games work on on it?

I need to change to XP 64 due to memory limits, but do some games work ok on it? How about current games like Modern War 2, etc? What about utilities for monitoring temps like realtemp? cpuZ and stuff?

Most games will work okay as XP 64 is older. I'd maybe consider moving up to Win 7 64 though in a few months.

Some games have issues running but these are now few and far between. Some games run a bit slow (just a bit) because they were made on 32 bit architecture. In a nutshell, go for it - you shouldn't have any major issues.
