It looks like the most expensive one is three copies of the OS. The other two I don't see much difference.
some nasty pop-ups on that site though.

There seems to be a lot of complaints about drivers not being supported... are you sure this is what you need?

I don't know much about software, I was just making sure you saw the
negative comments in the user product ratings. You'll have to
wait for crono or someone else who knows what they're doing :smile:

You're getting an AMD64 brand chip ... which optimized ALL 32-bit applications ... do you honestly think that Microsoft would have optimized XP for the 64-bit edition? I bet all they did was write a wrapper for 32-bit XP, which means there's no advantage, just overhead.
Just get the 32-bit edition. It's optimized under AMD64 chips and is widely supported. Oddly enough it costs $2 more.
Also, that chip is incredibly overkill, what could you possibly be doing that requires that?
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
