Is there a mobo that is properly designed to use
a 64-bit OS ? I've talked to mobo tech supports, and
they tell me that for the most part their mobos are
designed only for a 32-bit OS. You can run the 64-bit
OS on it, but it will not run well. You can even put
8 gigs of ram on it, but the mobo is not designed
for that power load, and will slow down a lot.
Add to that, most of the peripherals are meant to
run on a 32-bit mobo, and are not supported in
a 64-bit OS.

So to do 64-bit, you've got to do all of it, and it
seems the vendors are not well informed.

Why not read this article, and then come back and answer
the question again.
