I have a AMD 64 Bit Processor and i need to know can i run Xp Pro Original ? Or do i need to be running Xp 64 Bit Version, not sure what i should use.

XP Pro is still prefered, unless you have applications that specifically need Windows XP Pro x64. To clarify: Running a 64 bit processor does not mean you have to run 64 bit Windows.

I was wondering...Why did you say xp pro is still preferred???

Unless you're running applications that specifically use and take advantage of XP x64, all you gain by switching to it are compatilibity issues with existing hardware and programs.

I didn't mean anything bad by my question it is just, I have been running x64 for about 1 yr, and have had nothing but compatibility issues-and must search the web / software sites for proper drivers for nearly everything I have installed. However, though I do enjoy using the x64 bit version I run x32 bit as well just because of these incompatibility issues--there really isn't much of a difference between the two programs.

You see, when I built my system, the person I had helping me talked me into geting the AMD X64 processor that was mentioned earlier, and said there is really no reason in having a x64 processor unless I am going to utilize it with a x64 version of windows... I don't really know that I am utilizing it anyhow.
