No, the A64 chips and the Athlon XP chips have a different number of pins so mobo's can take either one or the other... not both. Plus I would of thought that the architecture and the chipsets were not compatible with eachother either.
If cars had followed the same developmental path as computers, a Rolls Royce would cost £60, get a million miles per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

If you want 64 bit on a budget then 3000+ could be the answer, not the cheapest combo around but certainly fast for the £££, other than that a 32bit NF7 V2.0 and a 2500 could be the answer, TBH 64bit isnt needed for the adverage Joe right now

Not really Dav3, Windows is not the only 64bit OS. SUSE 8 or 9 is 64bit compatable.
Tho its not really a problem as the AMD chips are still fast as hell in 32bit mode. TiG
