Do I need 64bit Win XP for a dual core 64 bit CPU?

**Jarry8** · 22-Feb-2007, 09:04 PM

I didn't even think of it when I ordered my new system. I currently have the same copy of windows xp home I've had all along. Do I need to get 64 bit XP professional for my Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor to work? I'd hate to have to have to buy a retail copy.. argh
Thanks
