Questions on CPU and Hard Disk
Hi folks,

1)
Is there any disadvantage/problem in running 32 bit software on 64 bit CPU?

I'm interested to upgrade a AMD box to 64 bit CPU. However most software available are 32 bit. Would it be similar to owning a powerful race car able to run 300+ KM on a road of 100 KM speed limit.

2)
What is Ultra320(80pin) HD and compared with SATA

TIA

B.R.

i heard that amd 64s run faster than xp on 32 bit systems for example amd xp 3200 and a amd 64 3200 the 64 would run faster on a 32 bit system and the xp can't run on 64 bit so its a better cpu not matter which bit system (bear in mind i am a noob so don't just take my advice i am about 85% sure i a right)

Hi,

Noted with thanks. That clears my doubt.
