Nah, all the desktop processors have been 64bit for a long time. It just took the operating systems a while to support them mainstream.

I guess you could ask for 32 bit Windoze if you wanted?

That's interesting, but it's a shame they don't (like the Dell site) show the prices of all the different options.

Good call on that link, Looking over some specs right now.

I have found that using those guys, DIY is often the same as buying ready built.

64 bit PC recommendations

Time for a new desktop, I'm thinking of going for a brand name this time as much as I like geeking around with hardware when they go tits up - I'd rather pass on a cheapo Frankenstein this time round.

So I'm looking at the HP Pavilion Elite HPE-350uk and HP Pavilion Elite HPE-380uk so far, can see them quite a bit cheaper than the HP site here and here.

Just need the box - no screen/keyboards/mice etc.

Any comments? Opinions?
