Yes AMD64's will run 32 bit apps as it has native support for 32 bit applications.

Whats ur budget w.r.t the graphics card ?

You won't find any difference at all with 64bit unless you're using 64bit apps on a 64bit OS.

Go for socket 764 as both mobos and cpu's are cheap.

with 939,who said there is much increase in price for cpu,maybe 100-200
also,it is the case of intel 423 and 478 socket,outdated ...

Windows 64 bit is officially out mate. Check the MS site ;) And if you have genuine copy of windows XP 32 bit you can exchange it for a 64 bit for free as well ;) Wonder if any Linux distros do that...hmmmm ;)

Linux has the 64 bit versions in for the oast year or so they are all stable operating versions no beta or thing. Miles ahead of windows in this one....
