I really don't believe the jump to winxp 64bit is worth it. You may have some software benefit from it, but not much, and as you said there may be unforeseen driver problems.
I know my VFD display doesn't have 64bit drivers. Wonder if Matrix Orbital does. I wouldn't even consider a LCD as the VFD's and PLED's are so much brighter and readable.
If you do want to make the jump, and winXP 64bit is selling for quite cheap, then I suggest you google around and see how what issues others are having with drivers for your intended hardware.
