X2 Gb Xp
XP 32-bit+AMD 64 = ???????????????????
I'm building a new pc soon with the following core specs
550 w power supply
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ processor( i don't know if it's 64bit)
3 GB RAM
160 GB HD DRIVE
ATI RADEON X1950 Pro
Windows XP Home Edition 32 bit
Will the 32 bit XP conflict with the Athlon 64?
No, you'll be fine. AMD 64 processor series support both code extensions. In fact, the 64bit versions of Windows XP and Vista do have the ability to run 32-bit applications while running, but not the other way around. Though this isn't as stable as running a 64-bit application on a 64-bit OS, it can be done.
As for your system configuration, it wouldn't be a bad idea to invest into a bigger drive. You can buy a 500 GB with 16MB of cache at or below $100. This actually is over looked. Your computer can only function as fast as its slowest part. This being the hard drive, to match peak performance, you want to reduce the amount of time that is spent pulling data from the hard drive and sending it to RAM. Thus a good hard drive and sizable amount of RAM should be considered to hold the data. At 3GB, you'll do most tasks at hand with the exception of graphics rendering for CAD or Animation purposes. Though you probably could add more, in most cases up to 4GB if not more.
The performance gains will become less noticeable as the efficiency of how the resources are handled will start to drop. Regarding XP Home edition, my recommendation is to go with XP Pro. Though Home edition will likely meet your needs, Pro has better handling of networks and multiple processor support, which for a college student connecting within a dorm environment or as a gamer, it may worth the investment.
