Question on AMD dual core CPUS!

[Brtnboarder495]

Is it possible to use the 32 bit versions of XP home and professional on an AMD dual core Socket 939 processor? Or must I buy the 64 bit XP?

It will work on the normal XP Pro but I would recommend you use XP x64. Don't worry whatever you choose it will work fine.

I heard that the 64 bit version wouldn't run a lot of aplications. So I'd go with the 32 bit.

XP64 also offers no performance benefit and a lot of hassle, use regular XP for now and get Vista when it comes out.

yeah stick with 32 xp, i think the main problem with 64 xp is the drivers, dunno if they ALL support 64

This is correct. Finding 64bit drivers becomes the real hitch. And since there are very few 64bit apps, there will be no performance increase as all the other apps will run 32bit.

Stay with 32bit XP, I run XP Home with my FX-60.
