Stupid Question

I have a stupid question...

Are the Intel Quads considered 64-bit processors? The reason I'm asking is that I've decided not to go Vista and stick with XP Pro. If the quad is a 64-bit processor, I can go with the 64-bit version of XP and access all 8GB of my memory.

Thanks

That is not a stupid question by the way and yes the new Intel Core 2 duo Quad is considered a 64 bit processors, just about every processor bought within 2-3 years is 64 bit.

64bit XP can only use 4GB ram, not 8GB. The motherboard might support 8GB but the operating system won't.
