i'm making 1 OS for x64, presently writing the kernel & system services to be
called by applications, also thinking about a good file system;
but i tend to make a similar one for ARM also.
i know it isn't simple to make the OS for ARM coz
not many people have experience on this archtecture.
hope u guys would help

I currently have an ARM port of my OS in the works, just there seems to be a lack of desktop-esqe ARM platforms to target, sadly. However, there is a basic intro to the Integrator-CP board on the wiki, and the Qemu ARM documentation / source is a good starting point.

None of the specifications in your signature are impressive, in the case of the graphics card.. proprietary, and the video game fps, irrelevant.

Welcome, I'm guessing you'll fit right in.

I'm also doing some ARM work - got a QEMU VersatilePB port going and got a Pandaboard to do some SMP ARMv7 development. Happy to help with queries, where possible.

I'm currently creating my OS for ARMv7 using Qemu as main tool for running and debugging. So, yes there are several people here who are doing OS work for ARM, even if x86 is by far the most common platform. There are usually no problems finding people and information about ARM these days.
