I have seen that there is a Windows Xp64bit version, does this mean the Windows XP Home Edition SP2 does not work with this type of processor? I'm just willing to build my first computer and I have WindowsXp Home, for the amd64 3200+, does this my ill have to buy a new os or it just work fine with it?

Thanks :)
 
No it does not mean you'd have to buy a new processor. The Athlon 64's can work in both 32bit and 64bit, so the old windows will be fine with it. Don't worry :p

Not many programs are 64bit yet, and when this finally happens and people decide to get the 64bit windows version when its worth it, you'll get a boost with this processor, and unlike other people without a 64bit. You won't have to update! Great huh? :)
