    This version is supposed to be available but so far I havent seen any sign of it. Does anyone know if anyone's selling this version in Ireland yet?

    As far as I can tell from Microsoft, its only available preinstalled on 64-bit machines, or in a trade in for your 32-bit version.

    on microsoft webpage, it says if you have an XP Pro, they'll do an some kind of offer to give you XP 64 for free but your version of XP Pro becomes invalid..

    Not applicable for XP Home.. Bummer!!

    But if your processor is not built for 64 bit processing,
    Then it is not much point of having the XP 64..
    As it won't give you any advantage over current XP..

    But if you have a 64 bit processor,
    Then it will generally be faster than 32 bit processor..

    I have a laptop for sale that has AMD 64 bit processor..
    Check it out..
