Wow does that make me mad. I built my new PC and put this copy of XP 64-bit as my OS hoping that I'd have the perfect gaming/music computer. I was wrong :[ I go onto Apple and download the newest iTunes and to my suprise, they don't support Windows XP 64-bit. Great, any advice to get it working on my Pc would be appreciated. Sorry if I make any grammitical mistakes, I typed this in a minute before I went skateboarding :D!

XP 64 bit is really not all that great. Vista 64 bit is much more stable and compatible with other programs.

This is old news, for me anyway. I found a workaround a while back. Search google and you'll find it. It wasn't too much work to find and fix. However, as much as I don't care for Vista unfortunately if you are going to use a 64-bit OS it's the way to go. XP Pro x64 has almost zero support, from both manufacturers and Microsoft. The only things I found easily for XP x64 were video card drivers. Everything else wasn't so easy.
*EDIT*
Seeing as your system isn't breaking the 4GB of usable RAM you might reconsider just putting XP x86 on your machine.

So would I need to buy Windows XP 32-bit in that case?

Yep. But there are system builder versions cheaper out in the wild.
