does win XP 64-bit suck?

<< < (4/4)

superboyac:
You're probably not going to need 64bit - and you probably won't feel the difference between utilizing ~3.5GB of RAM vs. 4GB with Win64.

You could go for 32bit XP now, and switch to 64bit Win7 when it comes out :) (while the driver situation is OK for XP64 these days, it seems to be somewhat better with Vista/Win7).

Good advice, will do.

mouser:
Just make sure that your motherboard and windows really does show you with at least 2gb or so free in windows -- i had an issue with my motherboard and windows32bit that meant i had well under 2gb of free memory when running win32 which really bothered me.
