It will, but be sure all your peripherals (printer, camera, scanner, etc.) have 64-bit drivers - many don't, and 32-bit drivers won't work.

Thank ejn63,   How about internal modem?  will it work? It is important because it need to go online to find the necessary driver.

Get all your drivers (if available) before you install the 64-bit OS. In addition, you will not be able to access more memory than with 32-bit XP because of the the Intel 945 chip-set doesn't support this.
