Thanks Mike,
	Those links help a lot.  I have been thinking of installing the 32 bit
version of xp on my new box, but I got the 64 bit processor with the
intention of running a 64 bit operating system.  I didn't realize that
practically none of my hardware and none of my dos software would be
supported.  I didn't do enough research before getting the system and really
didn't expect those caveats to come with the new OS.  I've been planning on
moving everything over to my linux box anyway though so my services wouldn't
go down when rebooting my xp system or playing really processor intensive
games.  I'm reading all of the tutorials that have been suggested to me, I
picked up a rather large unix book and will be researching as much as
possible to get this done.

And thanks to everyone else.  I just hope I can figure this out...  It looks
fairly difficult.

Have you considered installing XP32 on that PC instead?
