374205	2005-07-22 05:57:00	No, wrong, it WONT run _all_ 32-bit programs . Chill, you are talking about 64-bit Windows though, not a 64-bit motherboard running 32-bit Windows (ie plain Windows XP) . My understanding is that having 32-bit Windows XP on a 64-bit motherboard will still run 32-bit programs without any problems, unlike trying to run them on 64-bit Windows . Am I wrong on this?

374206	2005-07-22 06:08:00	The entire thread has been about 64-bit windows.....	Metla (12)
374207	2005-07-22 06:08:00	it's not 64bit motherboard foxy, it's 64bit processor. And yes, with the exception of itanium, all mainstream (Athlon 64/FX/x2 and Intel P4 w 64, Xeon with 64mem) will run 32 bit OS and programs fine, depending whether it's a 32 or 64bit OS. The problems Chill is having is x64 Win XP not having the same things as x86 XP on the same machine	Edward (31)
374208	2005-07-22 06:11:00	So its a 64 bit cpu on a 32 bit motherboard? Me thinks you may need to read up a little more....	Metla (12)
374209	2005-07-22 06:17:00	The entire thread has been about 64-bit windows..... Thanks Metla. I thought so but there was just a tiny niggly little bit of doubt that almost gave me a blimmin' heartache for a moment. :p :D	FoxyMX (5)
374210	2005-07-22 13:04:00	No, thats right FoxyMX. If it was WinXP 32-bit, then sure... Buy it, save the upgrade.. but you wont be getting any performance increase. In fact because its only a 32-bit OS, you're really likely to see a slower PC than normal. x64 Windows is what I was talking about...	Chilling_Silence (9)
