To take advantage of a 64-bit processor, such as the Intel Itantium or the AMD Athlon, software developers must recompile their applications to use 64-bit processing and write operating systems that use 64-bit data transfers. Microsoft provides a 64-bit version of Windows XP tha works with 64-bit processors.
