What drivers will I need?
I'll be switching from:
Windows Vista Home Premium x64
to
Windows XP Professional x64
:)
All help appreciated!

All of them; if you're lucky, you might get a couple to work. I have no experience with the x64 flavors of XP, but Vista and onward use a very different driver model, so any drivers made for x64 Vista will probably not work with x64 XP.
Why the move? I'd recommend windows 7 over XP x64 if at all possible. Better compatibility, stability, and probably not much difference in speed, either. And then you have the improved UI features, security, etc..

Ummm none….. 64 bit installation of XP is pretty good on the drivers as long as you have and do a clean install of XP. If you dual boot you could come into some complications if you don't partition correctly.
