Tim, Duron, Athlon, Athlon XP, Athlon MP = 32-bit Athlon 64, Athlon 64FX, Opteron = 64-bit There are some exceptions, but in general you can execute both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries under AMD's x86-64 architecture. With all due respect, if you are asking this question, I don't think you should be thinking about upgrading to 64-bits just yet. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
