AMD 64 Bit help

[nymph4]

I am Building a computer and it is an AMD 64 Bit CPU.

Now Win Vista comes in 64 Bit but I can't find Win XP Pro in 64 Bit why??

I don't want Vista I always liked Win XP Pro but it only comes in 32 Bit.

If My CPU is an AMD 64 Bit and I run Win XP Pro 32 Bit will my CPU run Slower or will it not Process as fast?

Or does this mean something els when we talk about the Operating System??

You can get XP Pro X64 - I'm running it right now.
Just because you have a 64 bit CPU doesn't mean you need a 64 bit OS though, 32 bit will run just fine.
Hope this helps.

I need to find Win XP Pro X64 with Service Pack 3.
And does it not come with the Consale Pannel on the CD for runing Commands and things like that??

there is no SP3 for XP64, since it is essentially the same as Windows server 2003 (or was it 2005?). Either way, you would need to purchase a copy from Microsoft.

I need to find Win XP Pro X64 with Service Pack 3.

As BC said, it's not based on XP, it's based on Server 2003, so SP2 is the latest update.

[BC_Programmer]

that's the term I was looking for- "based on"- not "essentially the same"

[nymph4]

Before I get Win XP PRO 64 Bit with Service Pace 2.

I have seen a Lot about it not beeing that good and Win XP Pro 32 Bit would be more stable.

Does anybody think Good or Bad about Win XP Pro 32  or 64 Bit
