   Howdy! Paul,   
      
   The CPU in my 32-bit XP box is a 64-bit CPU, but I've always ran 32-bit   
   software on it, I never had any desire for 64-bit programs.   
      
   I have hard enuf time with it without trying to keep up with the Jones   
   Family or run with the big dogs.   
      
   As one of the C=64 games I liked playing was called, Trials and   
   Tribulations, that's what happens here all the time.   
      
   The Motherboard might not allow more than 4GB of DDR RAM, but it would   
   be nice if I was rolling in dough to try seeing if I could put 4 2GB   
   DDR Sticks on it for 8GB if ever I ran a 64-bit W7 OS on it.
