Hi,

I have just bought a athlon 64 fx cpu and am thinking about upgrading my op system to xp 64 and before I do I just want to check all my games, itunes etc will work no problem with it.

Thanks

Stupid question, but are there any actual speed benfits to using XP64?

i've known quite a few people to try going down the xp64 route and they said they noticed no difference except more than ever problems, personal opinion, not worth the money

I moved from 2k Pro to XP x64 and I can't say I've noticed any performance improvements. Its probably largely due to the lack of native 64bit programs currently available. Runs all the stuff I need just fine though and it seems perfectly solid.
