Hey guys,

Since my processor is the only thing which still sucks in system, I want to buy a new one.
But I don't know anything about this new stuff with 64bit and so on..

Well, I'm about to buy this:
Click

It's a Mainboard + Processor and Ram.

Mainboard:

Processor:

Here my question:
I've read that the processor is a 64bit processor, so I'm wondering what's the difference betwen a normal-32bit processor and a 64bit processor?
I know that you need a different OS (e.g. 64bit version of WinXP)...but what else?

Thanks in advance.

OK
with a 64BIT processor you don't need 64bit OS.
But for Ram over 3.5GB you need a 64 bit OS.
BTW in my opinion id go for a Intel Q6600 2.4GHZ Quad.

I too recommend getting the Q6600, but you'll probably have to get a new motherboard and RAM.

64-bit processors (Intel 64/EM64T and AMD64/x86-x64) have full backwards compatibility with 32-bit operating systems. All modern processors have a 64-bit micro architecture with 32-bit support.

What are your current computer specifications? It'll help us decide what motherboard to use.

Dont go for an AMD, Intel is what is most price-worthy and performance-worthy.
