What is the reason for you to buy AMD64 system ? For example, I have gone ahead with AMD64X2 AM2 socket processor as I am designing an appliance and I need a lot of raw processing power. For a desktop considerations, take a look at Will also need to make it dual boot to play your win games ? If yes, where will the 64-bit drivers come from ? Give a bit of thought for your purpose and then plan the same. The best part is that AMD64X2 also has a 32-bit mode support. So that way you can run 32-bit binaries, but then why pay for a 64-bit system, which you are not using anyway ? Does it help ? thanks Saifi.
