Hey, computers are good!

Micro$$$oft is sh!t! Driver support for the 64-bit version of Windoze XP is abysmal...

Do yourself a favour and grab the 64-bit version of Ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com - this is a great OS and will be capable of carrying out most people's requirements.

Then, once Microsoft sorts itself out and actually gets a stable and supported 64-bit OS, you can dual boot that alongside Ubuntu.

Microsoft is a bit behind in its 64-bit support!

But having said that, the Athlon 64 runs 32-bit stuff well, so you'll be fine with the 32-bit XP.

I also have an Athlon 64 and it dual-boots into either the 32-bit version of Windoze XP or the 64-bit Ubuntu Linux.

It is a bit odd, having a 64-bit CPU and not being able to make the most of it from within Windows...
