Guten Tag Tim Leydecker,
its exactly what I have here on my desk, but XP64 realy s***s and I
could not find any advantage when running (until it kept crashing for
the lack of drivers...). So better stay with the 32bit XP.
I have my system dual boot, once XP32 and Suse10.1 and it works fine
and installation was rather easy.
