Default MS Win XP Pro x64


I am thinking about going to MS Win XP Pro x64 edition in a new system that
I am building and am wondering what AV & firewalls will run on it.

Does anyone have some experience with this OS and any special security
requirements?

You might want to check whether or not your printer, scanner, camera,
whatever have 64 bit drivers available.

Google should tell you all you need to know on AV and security..

Presumably x64 has some special features you need?

My system is 64 bit capable and I was curious - haven't finished building it
yet.

I am aware that AVG has anti-virus for it. On my Pro x64 box, I'm
running AVG & firewall.

Cheers,
Curtis
