Another question relating to it.

I have 32 bit version of XP as well. Is it possible to upgrade to 64 bit without wiping my entire harddrive clean and having to reinstall everything?

You have to do a fresh install.

No, You do not. You can use a partition program to make 2 drives and use them both.

He asked if he can upgrade from 32bit to 64bit, in which case the answer is no...

You are right, he could dual boot 32 & 64bit at the same time although will have to reinstall everything from scratch on the 64 bit either way...

Thanks for the answer. I knew about partitioning the harddrive, but that's kinda pointless and a waste of space. I mean, if I upgrade to 64 bit, there's really no point in keeping 32 bit.

As long as Dolphin continues to be developed and tweaked, I'm sure 32 bit will also get quite good performance one of these days.
