Another Newbie Question..

[Gibson99]

Sorry for such a dumb question, but I am building my first computer with an AMD CPU and I wanted to know if it requires a different type of software. I was looking at the requirements for Windows XP Home Edition and it said that it required an Intel Pentium 4 CPU. Does this mean that it won't work with an AMD 64 processor?

Thank you, and I apologize for another dumb question.

No. They use the same software.

No, everyone will work as normal like any processor. You can even run Linux if you wanted to. There is however a Windows 64-bit edition in production which would take advantage of your 64 bit processor.

Chevy is a part of GM IIRC

But yeah, AMD CPUs are just as compatible as intels.
