Not a problem. They speak the same NTFS :)

It works faster, but I experience some glitches here and there, but wonder
if it is incompatibility of applications, or Win 64 behaving silly.

Yes, then you can find out problems, because if you have a look in the
microsoft windows 64 newsgroup, one's problems are not the other's (hey,
just like Studio 9 ;-) ). Oh, if you need good help, check out that
newsgroup. there is a bunch of knowledgeable people, including some
MS-staff of the x64 group.
Have fun with experimenting!
