XP 64 is available now. How stable it is, I do not know. PS does not
have a 64bit Windows version out, but both XP and PS will use the
multiprocessors. Still I would wait a year. Right now 64bits is for
bragging, not for using.

Photoshop makes pretty good performance leaps using Dual and Quad
processor G5s running Mac OS X. (From the quick demos I've seen, so
does Apple's upcoming Aperture software.) I don't know how it does
with multiprocessor hardware running on Windows XP.
I think the Windows OS may be the bottleneck. I suspect that I need a
64bit OS to take advantage of 64 bit computers. I don't know if XP
does this or if something else is required.
I'm not so computer literate as I would like to be.
