    System Reload... x32 or x64?

    Here is my system (all parts included for x64 driver thoughts..)

    Asus Striker Extreme -FOUR (aka the 4th One i had replaced)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 (OC to 3.60 ghz)
    4 Gig ocz flex 9200 Ram
    74 gig WD Raptor (OS/Utils)
    300 Gig WD Secondary drive (games etc on it)..
    Soundblaster X-fi
    2 x EVGA GeForce 8800 Ultra's (SLI on and off for Dual Monitors)
    2 x Samsung 245BW 24" LCD's 5ms 1920x1200 res

    Now this is basically my #1 gaming rig, but i also use it for business (vpn, realvnc, yadda yadda).. Last night my x32 ate itself thanks to a massive malware attack (thanks NOD for detecting it so horribly)...

    anyway, as u can see i have a 4 gig system (4x1) and the machine plays the following games mostly:

    CS:Source
    Team Fortress 2
    COD4
    GRID
    Tiger Woods 08
    Madden 08
    NHL 08

    So my dilemma is.. should i reload x32, or take the leap and go the x64 route.. My video cards should be fast enough so that if there is a performance hit it wont be too noticable i would imagine..

    I need feedback to help me feel better about this transition...

    (also note my old Pentium-4 EE as my backup business machine)

    That's not even a real question... gimme something harder, like, "would you date a Playmate?" or, "is lobster really really tasty?"

    Of course, some people would answer no to these questions, but... yum. 64.
