do i need xp 64 bit to use my 8800gtx?

[Starmonger]

i was just about to download the latest drivers for the 8800gtx i just bought online (stil waiting for it to arrive), when i realised that i can't see just the standard xp 32 bit edition listed on the differnt choices of drivers to download. Do i need xp x64 or something?

i wasnt gunna get vista untill some direct x 10 games were released.

Is xp 64 bit edition faster on games like supreme commander? i have a core 2 duo e6600 cpu

no you don't need 64bit os

here's a link to 32bit xp drivers

No, you can use XP 32-bit fine.

 

[Starmonger]

great, thanks. so is the 64 bit version a waste of time for gaming atm? or has it gunna give faster framerates?

 

[prozac26]

It's a waste right now.

Get Vista later.

Yes, the 64-bit version won't have any effect on your 32-bit games

and vista in general will slow them down

the drivers suck for x64 anyways
