   This XP pc has a AMD 3800+ CPU which I"m thinking is a 64 bit processor   
   so it could run newer software if I wanted to Dual-Boot or run a 64-bit   
   OS in Virtual Memory. ?   
      
   That is if the Hardware HP put in this box will work with a 64-bit OS.   
      
   I had another thought sometime ago about seeing if a AMD 4800+ CPU would   
   or could help out some if I changed the CPU.   
      
   I played with running Ubuntu 7.04 from the CD I made long ago.   
   And have downloaded several updates 10.4, 12.04 and 16.04.3 to try out.   
      
   I heard about Mint Mate v.17 and looked at it too, but haven't really   
   wanted to take XP off of this pc and run a version of LINUX.   
      
   I've just played with LINUX so far.   
   If I could just keep this XP from playing with Me...
