RE: Any way to unlock the ability of a 64-bit processor in regular windows?
there is no way to "tweak" a normal windows to operate in a 64 bit manner unless you have win xp 64bit. Its not about sending more processes to the "cpu". 64bit to my knownledge still only has one ALU, which means its can only handle one process at a time. Normal xp only sends out 32 bits of information at a time (hense why its a 32 bit os). you can't tweak it to send out 64 bits of information cause the os just wont know whats happening. So basicly you have to get xp 64bit for it to have any effect on speed and what not. Although 32bit xp will still function, you wont see much of a speed difference.
