I am getting my new 64bit pc tomorrow, i am really interested to know what won't work in Server/XP 64bit out of my ordinary software, will it be worth dual booting my system with a 32bit OS?

Make sure your drivers work...download the latest firmware.
I think dual booting is worth it....there aren't too many apps for 64bit...you will want the 32 bit OS just in case.

MOST, 32bit applications will work in a 64bit OS environment, but will run only at 32bit. You may see little or no improvement in the speed though

Yup, thats why you should keep dual boot for those ones that don't happen to work.

Go for quadruple boot and put Ubuntu on the last one!
