Second of all, Windows XP 64bit is so called because it runs on a 64bit processor, and celerons do not come in 64bit yet. Only very new pentiums come in 64bit, but you must make sure you get a 64bit pentium. Or you could get a 64bit AMD, which is more common. But without a 64bit processor, Windows 64bit will not install.~Viz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madcrow 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2005 The 64-bit edition is just a cheap hack anyway. I'd suggest you either sell it on ebay or get an amd cpu that can handle 64-bits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vizskywalker 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2005 Actually, 64 bit is not a cheap hack, it doeas take advantage of the 64bit capability of a 64bit processor. However, because there are no applications that make use of the 64bit commands, and 64 bit Windows offers less support for 16bit software than the 32bit variant. I would also recommend somehow getting rid of the Windows 64bit. The real Windows designed for 64bit use is Longhorn, which will come out after 64bit processors become readily avaiable.~Viz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
