i was planning on buying a amd64, is the performace worth the cost or should i wait for more programmers to update thier code

When I bought my PC I had an AMD64 3000 put in it, and had installed the beta version of Win64. All I have to say is that if all my programs worked right and if my sound card had worked, I would have been very very satisfied. Performance was absolutely incredible. I have 1g of RAM to boot as well, but being on a 32-bit version of Windows is an insane difference, at least from what I have experienced. I'm very very excited at the thought of a 64 bit Windows that actually works!

Do the drivers for your hardware have to be written for 64-bit also? In other words, is 64-bit XP backwards compatible with 32-bit software?

Yes you can run 32-bit operating systems and software on a 64 bit processor.
