There are 64bit versions of XP. I think vista requires 64bit. Any modern CPU is going to be 64bit. The major advantages is the ability to use more than 2GB of memory at a time. -Rolf Kaleb C. Striplin, work wrote: Is XP 64 bit or what? Or is just vista 64 bit? What are the advantages? I am

Kaleb, Stay away from any system that is running Vista and doesn't have 2 gigs of RAM. Unless you like to play the waiting game. You may have a problem getting Drivers for XP for the eMachines. Their web site only shows Vista drivers which aren't compatible with XP. You MAY be able to find XP

On a $300 computer neither XP or Vista is likely to be 64bit. If you're in doubt you've got 32bit... If you've got less than 1GB of RAM go XP. More than 1GB it probably doesn't matter. Smart money goes Linux, why do you resist? Oh smart money also says you WILL get into this trouble again if

B! Most versions of Vista are 32bit. 64bit versions will be specifically labeled, just like XP. The advantage is actually more than 3GB of RAM and faster use of the processor. -Curt Date: Mon, 05 May 2008 17:28:54 -0400 From: Rolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT, replace

Regina would very easily get used to a good Linux distro, especially by using Sylpheed as an email client. 2 gigs of RAM minimum for Vista is a cruel joke! Keep the XP installed. Crop out all the crap they preload to help you. Then get PCLinuxOS or Ubunutu. I prefer PCLOS as it's not as bloaty
