Sygate firewall wont work on X64, it installs in the WOW but wont run, i use Comodo Pro and i must say its as good as sygate(if your a control freak like me;), but it needs to learn what programs and processes are safe or not, but generally its good and has a glossy interface much like recent linux variants or Vista(crap OS).
It prompts when a process starts that hasn't been given permissions and to date it has blocked 2 hijack attempts on my system.  There are not many firewalls for Winxp64, and this one is free for personnel use.

When I used to use Sygate it went a bit strange and decided not to let me connect to the internet even when it had been uninstalled.

If you dont mind paying, look consider LooknStop or Jetico for 64-bit firewalls.
