32-bit is what you're using now with Windows. Being that AMD will probably be the first to release a 64-bit processor (called the Athlon 64, I think), Microsoft has gone the way of sort-of tweaking up a Windows version specifically for the 64-bit processor. The OS needs to be set up to correctly benefit from the 64-bit processing. So, MS decided to work on that Windows XP-64 (or whatever the hell they're gonna call it). ---Troth ----- Original Message ----- From: kg6ocz To: pctechtalk Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 1:09 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- 32 bit or 64 bit windows How do you figure this out?
