Why wouold anyone want to buy and then store a CD/DVD until they have
a 64bit system. I say let the store store it for you until you have a
64bit system.

NO. There is no shiny media check. XP must be reinstalled and activated.
Period.

Man what a PAIN IN THA ASS!
Looks like MS has no way to confirm your XP CD until you activate it.

I prefer getting a second 32bit computer and running them in series.

Correctomundo. Making an image backup of the XP system about to be upgraded
and another just after the upgrade should alleviate all of this.
