Re: to XP64 or not?

I am in the process of building a new system. I have installed my original
XP home and when I try to add SP2 (or almost any other software) I get an
'unable to complete' type message at the last moment during the installation
or get a BOD and shutdown. I can't install updates of drivers that might be
causing this as the installation trips over at the last moment (as above).
This is a bit chicken and the egg.
As this appears to be a driver issue, would buying a new XP 64 OS to replace
my very old 32bit version help?
send me copy of trial xp64 i signed up for it, but they haven't sent
link yet

under another group I asked the same question, to 64 or not
I would, but just be prepared for the pc having a personality
consider somethings may not work or not work great
OTH!!!! The more the EU puts it on their machines..developers can get
the bugs out
64 bit
what kind of processor you going to use
and on what board?
