Yes some or should i say Most of the apps have compatibility problems with Xp x64, I would recommend to use Vista 64 bit instead.

How much is your RAM

[shift]

2X Transcend 1GB @ 667Mhz in dual channel

^^ That's enough amount of ram to run xp 64 bit edition - you can even try running vista x64 with sp1 - provided you have a good gfx card

cant afford Vista x64, price is too high

Thats the basic required ram for x64 & you wont have any real benefit using x64 system until you have 4GB-12 gb of ram.

If you run applications that can use more than 2gb of ram per process only then its worth going to x64 else you will find it slower than ur 32 bit OS.
