XP 64-bit, or no? [ANSWERED]
Can you think of any reasons why I shouldn't go with XP 64 bit? I'd go with Vista, but I know I woudn't have the patience for it.
I just ordered a 4 GB dual-channel kit (this one here), and I forgot that XP 32 bit won't "see" all 4GB, but rather just over 3GB. So, I figure I may as well go to 64-bit because my whole system supports it. But, I just don't know if it'll break any of my software...

I know that some software is unsupported on 64-bit, I don't remember any examples and they may have released 64-bit versions of those which was unsupported but you should defiantly check with game manufacturers etc before you upgrade.

Oh, I finally did a Google search. It looks like my answer is a screaming "do not go to 64 bit yet".
 Well I guess this thread is over with. See, that's why I want to be able to change the thread's titles. Now I should be changing it to something like "XP 64-bit, or no? [answered]".

You sure you don't have that on threads you started yourself? I changed it for you but look in thread tools and see if you find something like "edit thread" or try editing the first post. I have never tried that myself coming to think of it.
I'll leave this thread open for now, maybe someone else comes along and wants to ask questions.

yeah, I tried all that (after all, I'm a serious nerd.) I'm convinced it's a default setting that needs to be changed.

I will bring this up in the staff forum there is probably some settings in the Admin panel that needs to be changed to allow users to change the names. In the mean time just shoot me a PM and I'll change them for you, no problem
