Hello guys.
My brother has bought a new computer with a dual amd 64 processor.
Now he is going to give it to me to partition and install windows.
The people where he bought his new computer from, said not to install windows xp 64.
So im not sure if i should install windows xp 64 or xp pro.
Which is better and why?

If you want to use Renguard, then don't install Win 64.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Windows XP. Why, well there is drivers for XP64 but alot of old programs don't support it or won't run well on it. And for games the benefit 0%. This will change in the future UT2007 is a game which will support new stuff like Dual Core XP64 ecta, ecta.
People say that XP64 feels faster..But I doubt it. 'just the hype around it'
Just stay with XP32 till there's more support.

It is best not to get yourself involved with XP64-bit edition. Go with works and install XP Pro.
