It's great, except that I'm having some windows problems. Ever so often, Windows Explorer (the program you use to view folders and such) will just randomly crash, with Windows claiing it was stopped for accessing illegal memory locations. I never had this happen before I starte dusing a 64 bit processor, so could it be a problem with the longer word length? Some kind f address problem? I;ve scanned or viruses and adware, and found nothing, so I'm wondering if anybody else has had this problem, and if there is a fix for it.<<HOw much memory do you have on your computer? That could be it too?  When I first read this I was thinking a memory problem.. either not enough.. or windows finding some kind of fault with the memmory. I have a AMD 64 bit processor.. and it has only crashed about five times since I owned it.. and that is about 6 months now, I have Win XP Pro.. Not the 64 bit version. I do not have ANY problems with the windows explorer what so ever. I have got the blue screen of death once.. so I guess what I am trying to say is that the processor has been good for me. I have kept all the drivers up to date and polan on getting Win XP 64 when it has been out for about 2-3 months.. that way most companies will have caught up with the drivers.. or at least the ones I need (I research them before I buy it to make sure the drivers I want ARE out first <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )</blockquote>
