OK, so Im building this new system - Asus A8N32SLI, AMD Opteron 165, Kingston hyperx ram(1gb), SATAII, etc, etc. Anyway, I was wondering if regular window XP will work? Or should I get XP PRO X64? As Ive depleted a lot of my funds Id rather hold off on getting X64. And if I can install regular XP PRO, is there anything "special" that needs to be done so it works properly? Any insight on this subject would be very helpful. Thanx,
-Pete. :tazz:

Standard XP will work, Xp 64-bit is pointless at this time, plus it'll come as standard with Vista anyway so little point having that and shelling out again for Vista.
