Do you also have Windows XP 64-Bit? I always thought Windows XP 64-Bit Edition is for customers' applications that benefit from large memory and/or fast computational performance.

Thanks. I've checked it out. Is your computer a 64-bit ready PC? Did you know that this evaluation software is time-limited and will expire in 360 days? I noticed another thing. It's for technical workstation users who require large amounts of memory and floating point performance in areas such as mechanical design and analysis, digital content creation and scientific and high-performance computing applications. It didn't say anything about using it for games or Direct-X.

I doubt my PC is suitable for Windows XP 64-Bit. This news article explains why.

I don't think any games are written for 64 bit yet. I know someone who has 64 bit XP and he says that there's very limit number of applications ready to put on it. But hes also says there is a way to run the programs in 32 bit mode. Maybe go to Windows help and support and put a search for 32 bit mode.
