Hi,
I was wondering is windows xp x64 worth installing? The main reason I want to do this is because of I have 4gb of ram and my 32bit xp os doesnt seem to reconise these rams, it only shows 3gb. Here is my hardware setup:

Amd Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 4400+
4GB Of Supertalent Rams
Asrock Motherboard
x2 Hard Drive 250+80 GB
Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatility
Asus EN6200 Graphics Card

So is it worth installing the 64bit os?
What do you think which one is better overall 32bit or 64bit? Which os can have a higher rating? Please help, I am stuck on confusion :confused:

I am assuming you have 4 DIMM (memory) slots on your motherboard. Ther reason you only see 3 of the 4 gigabytes is because of how windows allocates memory. I believe that using windows x64 should show all 4 gigs and with certain motherboards I know you can have 8 gigs max!
So if you want x64 windows should free up all your ram then some.
