NOTE: An AMD64-enabled workstation should provide leading performance for many 32-bit applications. Although not all 32-bit applications may run as normal when you decide to change to a 64-bit operating system, many will, providing excellent flexibility. It is advised to pre-test your applications by visiting Microsoft's 64-bit 120-day free trial (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/evaluation/trial.mspx) before you switch to a 64-bit processor with a 64-bit operating system. AMD64 requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for a
64-bit processor. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without a 64-bit enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations.
