I would like to go 64 bit but dont see the need now or even the the
medium future, no 64 bit OS well no XP one

Also no appications and or games that support it maybe afew but thats
it ?

FYI, the Athlon64 is much faster in 32bit proggies, not just 64bit(which
the barton can't do). Just depends if you want to pay the price for the
performance gain, as usual.

Even in 32 bit mode, the Athlon64 2800+ is faster than the Athlon XP
3200+. So whether there's a 64 bit OS yet isn't even worth considering.

Athlon 64 3200+ has 1MB L2 cache, and on die Memory Controller. Athlon XP
has none of these. If A64 beats Athlon XP in 32bit, imagine how it will
perform in 64 mode. Sooner or later 64bit version of windowsxp will be out.
Windows Longhorn will support 64bit as well.

You can download Window 64bit beta release candidate 2 for FREE from MS, on
a 1-year trial licence. By all accounts its completely stable too. Not bad
for free!
