I just got a new computer...with an AMD X2 64-bit CPU. My question is, can I still install Windows XP 32-bit? I installed the 64-bit, but it didn't work right and I couldn't find 64-bit drivers, antivirus, etc. Is it ok to just install Windows XP 32-bit onto a 64-bit system?

The number of data bits or data lines that can be used on the mother board. A 32 bit mother board can not use a 64 bit system, but a 64 bit system can use a 32 bit system. The larger numbers means it can move and transfer more information faster.
