People worry that the upgrade to 64bit HAS to be expensive.

As long as your Processor is the right socket for the motherboard, then your other hardware in your 32bit computer can upgrade with you...YES ITS TRUE!

i have an AGP graphics card from my 32bit computer, my drives and everything.
The upgrade all together cost less than £200. That is roughly 351.04 U.S. dollars.

Prices in the US are cheaper as well, haven't allowed for that.

Seriously i am running fast as hell here and will be on 64bit completely as soon as i find more software

So you're saying the mobo has nothing to do with the 64 bit processor? So if I buy the right processor then I can put it in my dell and it'll be a 64 bit machine?

NO, there are some sempron motherboards that can do that

otherwise get a new board, i got an excellent motherboard for cheap!

[ShadowFox]

ohh see that's why I say it's so damn expensive :cry:

yes... I'm poor I'm very tight on money as I just took a MAJOR cut in my paycheck and I have to watch what I buy and ration it, but we can try.
