Windows 64 Bit Edition What is that for?

Hello friends i just got windows 64 bit edition ..! but when i tried to install it said cant install on this system..! though my system is pentium celeron 2.8 ghz..! wonder why is this edition so?Can someone tell me why is that edition and what machines does it work?

First of all, you can't have a oentium celeron, they are different chips, unless you mean a celeron with the speed of a pentium I, which is too slow to run XP. 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

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.

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
