if this subject has been covered, i apologise, and would appreciate a link if it has been. if not....
if possible i would please like some advice on these OS's. my new system will be arriving in the next few days and considering it has an amd 64 processor (x2 4200) i was wondering whether it was worth installing xp 64 if i was to see any benefits. i have also 'acquired' a copy of vista, but i don't know whether it is 64 bit compatible. i read somewhere it is both 64 bit and 32 bit compatible, but the source wasn't reliable and i am not really an expert.
my concern is, whenever microsoft initially release anything it is normally full of bugs and problems so i am sceptical of whether to try these new OS's or just install my xp home edition.
any advice would be appreciated.
thanks
