While buying the parts for my PC build i thought about buying a OS, however after looking into the 64 bit version of XP i was wondering if it is really worth it?
My PC specs will be the following:
Case: Thermaltake Shark(Black)
PSU: Enermax Liberty 620W ELT620AWT ATX2.2 modular sli compliant
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual core 4200+(socket 939)
Motherboard: Abit AN8 SLi fatal1ty nforce4 SLI(socket 939)
Graphics card: BFG Geforce 7800 GTX OC 256mb GDDR3 Vivo TV-out/Dual DVI (PCI-express)
RAM: Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3500LL Pro twin X(2x 1GB) CAS2
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS edition
Hard Drive: Samsung spinpoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-ll 8mb Cache
CPU Fan: Coolermaster hyper G+ RR-UNH-P0U1 cooler(socket 754/939/478/LGA775)
Im finding the 32bit version very good at the moment and unless there are some good reasons i dont thing ill use the 64 bit version.
What are the advantadges/disadvantages of the 64bit version?
