Try XP 64 beta now with new MSI board or just wait until Retail version arrives?

I just got my new MSI board with an AMD 64 bit 3500+, new HDD so it'll be a fresh OS install too. The board comes with a free version of Win XP 64 beta but I don't know if I'll have driver issues yet. If I add my 2 SCSI Seagates to this PC, I doubt there's XP 64 drivers for my SCSI card.

So, should I try XP 64 beta or just wait?

Is XP Pro upgradeable to XP 64 or does that require a fresh OS install?

I'm sorry if all this has already been said here before and if I just didn't see it before posting. If so, I link is fine.
 
Go with XP SP2 for now, I tried running the XP64 beta and had a few driver issues...not worth it yet, since there aren't many 64-bit apps to take advantage of it anyways. Oh, and I'm sure other people will post in this thread that there is absolutley no reason to ever run XP 64 unless you're running a high volume server or doing heavy graphics rendering!
