If I install a 64 bit version of windows xp pro will that allow windows to
make full use of all the ram installed?
I understand that 32 bit versions of win xp only allow access to 4 gigs or
so of ram?
Will a 64 bit version of windows be fully compatible with any of my current
windows software running on my 32 bit version of win xp pro?
Will I also have to get a 64 bit processor to get this to work?
Is Vista 64 bit OS?

If I use Bootcamp to install a 64 bit version of windows xp pro on a Mac
will that allow windows to make full use of the ram installed?
I take it that the processors on a Mac Pro are 64 bit?

Will this improve performance for video editing over a 32 bit OS?
Thanks for any advice.
