Hi, I have a AMD Athlon 64 processor running on XP Pro 32, it is not
right?
Why do you wonder if it is not right? The Athlon 64 should run XP Pro
fine.
Do you *need* to?
If I'm thinking about 64-bit XP, I'm wondering if drivers for the rest of
the hardware are available, first.
Then, I'm wondering if I have apps written to run as 64-bit.
There's a lot more to consider than just the processor.
Am I loosing the processor capabilities?
Not unless you really need them to handle very large data files or sets, and
have more than 4 gig memory.
And the processor's 64-bit capabilities are close to meaningless without
software that actually takes advantage of them. Regular versions of most
apps won't.
