Hello,


So I am very confused..I bought a computer from a guy in my neighborhood.

I originally wanted a dual core desktop system.

Well anyways, This guy went ahead an convince me to buy this dual Xeon 3.06 ms-9121 based computer.

It has four slots for ram and can take up to 8 gigs or ram..

I've looked all over the internet ,inclusing the manufacturer website.

They all sware that this is only a 32 bit architecture.

So my question is,"Why does it have four slots for memory if it can't run a 64 bit system?

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to these things..

Basically I want this computer to perform as well as a dual core, and maybe I'm not gonna ever get that performance from this machine..

If anyone knows anything about this kind of machine and the types of upgrades that I should do to it to get it performing the way that most of the current machines are running..

I hope I am wrong,,about the 64 bit op system thing..

I got pretty upset with the guy that sold me this computer..He swares that it can run 64 bit op sys..In my opinion he sounds like a know it all, but hasn't been able to clearly explain the do=arounds or what nots to get what i want out of this machine..

Did I get Ripped off?

Will this machine run a 64 bit op sys?

Whats the best gaming quality vga card that I can get for this..

Am I wasting my money on this machine?

Configuration: Windows XP Dual Xeon 3.06 ms-9121 mother board 4 gigs of ram
Firefox 3.5.3 asus n6600 agp vga card 256 mb
