  Yup, I'm here, Kathie. Actually, we've all been here since they opened the
doors on Monday, having a fine old time. Now, if the problems with the
Technology Advancement Program site would just all get resolved, we'd hold a
party here. :)

  No. x64 Edition will NOT run on your 32-bit processor. It will only run on
"x64" processors. These are AMD processors with amd64 technology and from
Intel with EM64T technology.

  will x64 work on an Intel p4 HT 2.8GHz processor? has the same bus speed as
the AMD x64 but i wasnt sure if it was the same concept.

  Its not the same concept

If Your P4 has this spefic feature EMT64 then yes you can install XP X64. If
it does not have EMT64 then no since EMT64 is required on the P4 to install
X64.

Hyper Threading only allows your CPU to multithead and the AMD x64 uses
Hyper Trasnport which is a Faster Bus that allows communication between
devices like the CPU and Memory to be quicker and reduce bottleneck.

There are threads that go futher into detial about the CPUs and also the
hypertransport and hyperthreading but since i delete alot of messages in
outlook news reader i can't find them for you.

  I'd need to know the specific series of that Intel CPU, since they don't make
it any easier than they have to. However, I'd bet the answer is no, since I
don't think any of the CPUs that support EM64T are less than 3GHz. But the
concept is not at all the same -- it really has nothing to do with buss
speed, or hyperthreading, but has to do with whether the chip is 64-bit.

  And if you could install it, you would have to buy another copy for the new
computer, since it is OEM

  Charlie, I was wondering if Intel SpeedStep Technology and Executive disable
bit Technology will work on Windows XP 64bit. Thank you!

  my goodness, that's an old post you're replying to!

No clue about SpeedStep, but I'd assume it does. OTOH, execute disable is
definitely supported and used.

  Charlie,
I have an Athlon 64 bit processor and am considering upgrading from XP pro
to x64, however, I am concerned that x64 will not support all my hardware,
i.e., not have all the drivers I need. Also, will Office 2003 still run in an
x64 enviroment?

  There is no upgrade path from Windows XP Professional x86 to Windows XP
Professional X64, clean installs only, but you can create a separate
partition and install it on it. Office 2003 runs just fine on Windows XP
Professional X64. As for hardware, that depends, its best you do a thorough
research to find out if your existing devices have drivers available from
the manufacturers web site. Charlie will add more detailed information.
