    I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade a 32-bit xp to 64-bit xp?
    Not doing a new install just an upgrade from a full install of 64-bit xp...


    Please let me know.. Thanks!!

    Sure. XP 64 is mostly pointless, though. If you don't have a specific reason to run XP 64 (other than you just want to), don't. It's not worth it.

    I dual boot xp 64 along with xp 32 on my home pc. Pointless waste of money.
