do the amd 64's require xp x64 or will 32bit install just fine? i get a blue screen when i complete the 32bit install during the final reboot...

64bit cpu's will run 32bit code.

without any driver or whatever?

It has nothing to do with drivers, the cpu's will run 32bit code no problem.

well, looks like x64 wont work with a sp2 fresh install, from what i've read, to run the 32bit on a 64 chip, you have to install with sp1 or a older chip... (not sure if i just need a copy with a pre sp2 xp 32, or if i need to load 32bit on a sempron or p4 and then install this compatibility driver (for the timings) ) but i do know that, mister, you are lacking some info.

i'll be sure to post the correct solution to this issue, when i find out exactly whats going on :)

Mind you I am no 'puter guru but I don't think the processor is your problem. A friend of mine is using a Dual Core AMD as well w/ XP.

found out all i had to do was download a 32 bit "driver" so winxp can see the correct timings or some crap... booted in safe mode, installed the driver, rebooted and all is well.... thanks for th help computer guys

That makes no sense... it needs to see the correct timing? Show me a link to where you're reading this at.

How about actually working the problem of the Bluescreen?

What is the stopcode? Something tells me 7B.

I have 2 amd 64bit cpus (Athlon XP and a Sempron).

One is running 32bit xp and the other 2003 server and I did nothing special.

this is where i saw that update thing, and after seeing it, i thought i needed... but after all that, it was just the video card driver :o


the blue screen flashed so incredibly fast i couldnt ever get a look at what was going wrong...
