My son is contemplating purchasing this mobo:

http://tinyurl.com/32bgjr

and this processor

http://tinyurl.com/38smrm

Can some kind person confirm that, although the processor is 64 bit, it will
still happily run 32 bit Windows XP?

Also, the mobo states that it runs PC2 PC3200 DDR II SDRAM and above. His
old memory is PC2100, are we right in thinking that the new mobo will still
run it but suffer a bit on the speed side? I am a bit baffled by the PC2,
I have not come across that before?

Many thanks.
