MrChris Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) To make it short.Can I install/run the 32bit version of Windows XP SP2 on a AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 based motherboard?I only ask becuase I am thinking of buying a Gigabyte M55SLI-S4 motherboard that comes with a AMD Atlon 64 x2 3800! I only have the 32bit version of Windows XP not the 64 bit version. Will I notice any major performance hit but not running the 64 bit version of Windows XP?Thanks,MrChris Edited February 25, 2007 by MrChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
