Just a little confused. You are saying that he has to run the 64bit OS
version on the 64bit CPU and cannot run the X86 OS version on that
processor, otherwise all will run as X86 if installed on the 64bit?
I'm running Xp Pro x32 on an AMD64 X2 [dual layer] processor & the only
drawback is that I can NOT run a 64bit app on the 32bit OS but this is not
a huge problem since most apps are still written for 32bit processors. I
could do a dual boot situation & run another OS that was written for the
64bit processor then I could run 64bit apps & 32 bit apps but I would NOT
be able to run 16 bit apps at all. Some smaller board games, utilities &
installer code are still written in 16bit mode all tho this problem is
starting to fade away.
