Xeon Mac Pro - Windows XP 32 or 64? - Post production

[Inflict]

Hey guys, we have a new Xeon 8 core mac pro here.

I just wanted to quiz you guys about the following:

This is going to be a dual boot machine.

My question is about the best version of windows to install.

On the PC boot, we require a ton of 32 bit software to run, such as the adobe suite, eyeon Fusion, maya etc but also pro tools LE with a 003.

The question is, is it better to run XP pro 32 bit or XP 64?

I dont know if there will be a conflict with running the 32 bit apps with XP 64, and equally dont know if XP 32bit will allow the full access to all 8 cores?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Only windows or vista 32 bit is supported with any. Ersion of pro tools.
