i've been thinking about upgrading my old xp 2000 for eq2 to either a xp 3200 or a 64 3400, however the tech at the store i was gong to order from told me that the 64 bit amd processors are not supported by windows. What does this mean? I know windows xp is a 32 bit os and does not fully use the capacity of the 64 3400 but is there also a perfomance degration?(in other words is the xp 3200 just as good)

Windows does support AMD64! Look at this link:

You can now download beta windows-64 for free. This beta alows you to automaticly dl all updates for 1 year from first dl date.
ATI has also beta 64 bit driver ... I don't know about Nvida.
Buy AMD64 3400+, you won't regret .

This really should be in off-topic or in the pub under general discussion, not hateing on you starting a topic, it's just you would probably get better and faster answers if you asked for computer advice/help in a forum section that is specified for this topic.
Your scathing wit and daring insight into the turbulent political crags of the internet are shining beacons of truth and purity for the slight remaining masses of visionless hypocriticial sheep who bleat at the thought of your glory

The tech store guy obviously don't know squat.
AMD64's are 32bit backward compadable, so they are able to run Windows fine, infact better than any 32bit chip on the market.
My suggestion, unless you have the money to blow away, just get an Athlon 64 3000+, The extra cache in the chip just isn't worth it right now, and your much better of spending that money on a new ram/graphics/hard drive etc.
Unless of course your a rich little ****
