I have one simple question, does the new Bootcamp 2.1 support XP 64bit? I saw that they have a 64bit version for Vista, so could the XP version be for 64bit too?

I'm currently running the 64 bit version of Vista on my Macbook Pro and have no issues with it. I would suggest that if you would like to run a 64 bit version of Windows, that you use Vista.  I don't believe that Bootcamp explicitly supports a 64 bit version of XP.

I dont think theres any official drivers for from Apple for 64-bit XP.
But I do remember that there were a few collections of 3rd party drivers which people collected together to get audio, wi-fi etc. etc. working.
Take this, for example.
