Hi,
I'm planning to install Window XP Pro on my new computer, and I'm thinking of running it on 64-bit instead of 32-bit, how can I do it???


thx in advance

Same as 32-bit Windows.... only you must be aware of whether or not there will be 64-bit drivers for all of your hardware.

Do you have the 64 bit version of xp? You cant switch 32 bit xp to 64 bit xp. Its a totaly different os.

Once you have the 64-bit version you install it just like regular xp.

Is the 64 bit leaning more towards dual core use, and does it cost more?

i don think it is more for dualies, it's basically XP with 64-bit face lift. You should install it by booting from the disk. Make sure all your drivers/programs are 64-bit compatible. I'd dual boot at this time since 64-bit support is a bit thin.
