Re: What Window XP version do I need?

even if the CPU is dual core or even 4-core, it is one single PHYSICAL
CPU... thus any windows xp version will work...

when they say you need pro, it means that you have 2 seperate CPUS on a dual
CPU monitor..
not multicore CPUs like yours is...

So yes, Home will work.

I suggest you go with 32 bit for compatibility of drivers and programs.

I just bought an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ with 2 GB of RAM. Do I need
Windows XP Pro to support my dual-core processor, or will XP Home work
just as well? Also, is 32-bit better than 64-bit since I run less
than 4 GB of RAM? Thanks.
