Does anyone have any experience with playing World of Warcraft with a 64bit processor?
It is good to be good, but it is better to be lucky.

I'm pretty curious as to why you're asking all of these questions about 64-bit processors.  If you run an AMD on a 32bit OS, you don't need to worry about much of anything other than the normal routine of installing drivers.  Personally, I strongly disuade you from using a 64 bit OS.  It's way more trouble than it's worth.  The drivers are impossible to find (though I'm sure it's gotten better) and I'm not so sure how stable it is compared to XP32.

I've had a 64 bit processor for more than a year.  I'm not entirely sure why, but I've found it much better than my friend's 3.4 GHz processor he got a few months ago.  He also has 1GB of RAM (same as me) and an equally good video card.

Can I run a 32bit OS just fine on a 64bit processor?

Yes, but it would defeat the purpose of buying a computer equipped with a 64-bit processor and would result in God killing two kittens.

Yes.  I've experienced no problems running a 32 bit OS.  In fact, my AMD 64 3400+ outperforms my friends AMD 3200 by a lot.

Hehe, kind of.  There's still the potential. :)

That's okay, because Krazed would have masturbated 3 times if he didn't do that.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!
