AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual core 4000+

[zanzofer]

I bought a new system and put it together. This is my first 64 dual core processor and I keep hearing about setting it up properly to take full advantage of this type of processor. I havent customized anything really, and figured i would come here and ask if there is anything i should do?

I'm running windows xp sp2. not the 64 version

Run an OS and apps that use 64-bit instructions. I suggest openSUSE.
