The computer I want is: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3956792&Sku=I455-5150 It looks pretty much perfect, aside from the 64bit processor. My question is, would it be possible for me to install 32bit Windows XP on it? Are 64bit processors compatible with 32bit OSes? Any answer would be appreciated.
