Default XP Media Center Edition 2005

Well I have a copy of MCE 2005 and I was just wondering if it would really be worth formatting my hard drive and installing it, or should I just stick with my xp x64. My trial will be out at the start of July for this 64 bit xp.

Thanks all

The only major difference between media center and regular xp is that media center has a more friendly user interface. Basically, you can hook your pc up to your tv and other devices more easily. If your not using a tv and your sticking with a monitor, then there isnt really a reason to go for the media center. Not worth the hassle...
Hope this helps,
