Howdy folks,

Please allow me a very senior moment here. I certain this has been discussed in 
detail in the past but I would just ask a questions  as I am building a white 
box for a neighbor.

If I build a 64bit processor system can I run only X86 OS and S/W? If so, will 
all the X86 drivers operate as in a normal X86 system? In other words, is there 
automatic backward compatibility?

The reasoning here is that if he does decide, or need, to change to the 64bit 
in the future he will just have to change OS version and, maybe, some S/W, 
rather than build a whole new PC.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The entire Lane family would like to wish all of you and yours a very Merry 
Christmas.

Jeff
