Hi,
I am looking for some advice and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am currently building a new PC. I am using some of the parts from my old pc e.g. graphics card, sound card etc, but I am getting a new motherboard and processor among other components. Someone advised me to get a 64 bit processor (Im sticking with AMD as this is what iv always had) so I looked into them. I have found a processor and a new motherboard. However, I read somewhere that the new windows xp 64 bit edition has a lot of problems. And using the old xp pro 32 bit with a 64 bit processor doesnt use the processor to its full potential.
Does anyone know any more about this? If I use the current 32 bit xp with a 64 bit processor will it still be noticably quicker? Or would you recommend just going for a quicker 32 bit system?
Thanks in advance, I am very greatful for any advice given.
