I was told that since windows xp is a 32 bit system that the 64 bit processors will default to 32 bit!

yeah, nothing can really take advantage of the 64 bit processors yet.

If you are already spending that kind of money on hardware, I would recommend 2 74GB Western Digital 10k RPM Raptor drives in a hardware RAID-0 configuration to speed up initial loading times and disk access times.
I would also recommend disabling your page file to prevent the massive swapping to and from disk that SWG is famous for. I run 2 clients on a machine with 2GB of RAM and no page file and notice zero performance problems when tabbing between the 2. If you enable the page file, there will be some delay.
