-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Looking for advice

Hi Lil,
    This is good advice, especially the part about buying XP before they're 
removed at the end of the month.

    However, a 64-bit processor does not force you to run a 64-bit operating 
system, as some have erroneously reported in the past.  It just provides you 
that option, which you would not have with a 32-bit CPU.  I'm running WinXP 
Pro 32-bit on my AthlonXP 64 dual-core and it actually runs a bit better 
than it would on a 32-bit CPU.  On the other hand, installing a 64-bit OS 
would allow any 64-bit CPU system to really strut its stuff, as long as you 
know you can find drivers for everything else you have attached to the 
system (this issue has been improving steadily, but still has a way to go 
before I can stop mentioning it).            :O)

Peace,
G
