Simple OS question

[mrjkwik]

Not only am I building my first rig (always had prebuilt store pc's), but it's my first experience with Amd. So I just have one quick question.

Which OS is best suited to be used with a 4400+ x2, 2gb Ram, and Asus 6800GT?

WinXP
WinXP Pro
WinXP 64
WinXP 64 Pro?

Sorry if its a stupid question, but had to ask.

I would go with windows XP Pro..XP64 is still a little unstable..

im using winxp x64. Its fine for me. A lot of apps i can't use but i found substitues. i only know of a couple virus scanners i can use. My usb 256mb usb drive won't work. my hp printer doesn't work. no driver for my logitech mx510. some msi apps. bunch of stuff don't work.

so for you i suggest windows xp pro
