    Amd 64bit.... Ok, but which OS? Win 32 or 64 bit?

    Which Windows do you reccomend on computers powered by Amd 64bit?
    Would you use 32 bit Windows or the new one Windows XP 64bit ?

    I've heard that most of 32bit applications work (20-30%?!) slower at 64bit win XP ? Is it true?

    you don't know this answer... You don't need A64 then.


    You need to use XP 64bit, and yes a lot of shit still won't run right.

          WinXp 32 bit runs perfectly fine one an A64 CPU.. Get one of the dual core X2 CPU's and you will be ready for whatever OS they release next..

            You can run either Win XP 32 bit or 64 bit. I run 32 bit only because some applications don't support running in 64 bit mode, so whats the point? It's still fast as fuck running in 32 bit.

              The biggest problem right now is 64 bit drivers for hardware...
