Just wondering, is there any way we can upgrade to windows 64 from Windows XP without paying full price?

no.

you can only get Windows XP 64 with oem parts anyways.

its a pass really, if you have XP pro already, you ain't getting much on top of it with XP64

Running XP64 won't do you much good as your apps will all be running in IA32 emulation anyway.

either way, since windows 64 is 64bit, you cant \"upgrade\" XP, youd have to do a full reinstall. XP64 is much faster then XP pro though. you CAN download the Vista 64bit demo, if you get around the lack of a few drivers here and there, the beta doesnt deactivate until June of next year.
