Default Whats OS should I install

A friend of mine is building an i7 machine for me and i was wondering if i should go with a 64bit os or should i stay with the 32bit. Is the 64bit better for music? What are the advantages and disadvantage for a music PC? Im probably gonna stick with winXP because its so stable

W7 64 is currently in beta. XP Pro SP3 is the one to go with. If you dual boot, you'll be good to go.
