    For you (Athlon 64 owners), there's a new upgrade software or download coming to your 64-bit operating systems soon. It's called Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. This upgrade can replace the 32-bit Windows XP Professional program into the 64-bit revolution. Click the link and read about it:

    I am thinking about getting this upgrade. It can make your 64-bit processor run smooth and fast. Also, here's the link for the top 5 reasons to upgrade/get Professional x64 Edition:

    Longhorn isnt released until 2007.
    DONT GET 64 bit edition, so many programs arent compatitble with it especially virus scanners.

    I heard that 64 bit edtion is more like win98.

    Forget 64 bit edtion. Lets step it up and use 128 bit.

    ^lol, NO.
    64 bit edition is the best edition, its cleaner, faster, smoother. I do suggest upgrading to it, but I urge you to wait 4 months or so until drivers and software are upgraded to work on it.

    Im getting an AMD 64 3000+ processor next week. I don't think I will get the 64 bit windows until it is officially released from Microsoft. There is some copies of it out right now but I don't think they are to stable. :eek:
