Try pidgin as a replacement for msn messenger, you won't go back to the ad loaded crapfest that is the official msn client.
I do not know if there is a 64 bit compatible version but I expect there is. |

Just be careful when inserting the processor. It can only go in one way. And if your forcing it, then it is not lined up correctly. Having a good pair of eyes and/or Magnifying glass dome can be helpful.
Oh....and did i say, be very careful when inserting the processor. Same applies to the Ram boards. respeks. PS, i personally never used an anti-stataic wriststrap. But i guess its good to have.

done it already, she's up and running. but thanks for the advice all the same. the cooler bit that sits on top of the processor looked like a jet engine. was well cool. has loads of copper pipes on it and looks like it could be some kind of crazy water cooling system |

 windows 7 64 bit would have been my best bet - I've never had good luck with XP64..Good luck with it - /should/ all be working fine, why not go for 32bit windows? As far as i know, XP64 was never really used that much......

only problem that may occur to general users when using 32bit is that the max RAM is 3.25gb

Not if you enable memory hole remapping.
But I see what you're saying. 32 bit OS's only support up to 4GB's of RAM. Shouldn't really be a problem for most people though.

This x(a lot). Never had any joy with xp 64, far too much hassle to get apps for it. You will be wanting windows 7 or 64 bit Ubuntu tbh. |
