Disk partitioning for XP x64

Disk partitioning for XP x64 edition

I have ordered the x64 edition OS disk from MS.
When it arrives I plan to install it using a fresh install on a newer 32 bit
PC. This will be a temporally learning project for x64 until I purchase a
Duel processor with Windows Media Center PC.

I need some advice for partitions.
I am planning to do the following partitions:
6 GB OS x64
10 GB My Documents
Separate from My Documents partition
10 GB My music
2 GB My Photos
10 GB Historical Folders and files (seldom used or updated)

Any advice will be appreciated.

It won't install unless your 'newer 32-bit PC' has a motherboard with a
64-bit cpu and chipset.

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition only works on a 64 bit computer, you
just mentioned installing it on a 32 bit computer, it will not work.
