Windows x64

[SMMT]

HI,

I'm using Java SDK 1.4.2_05 in a windows 2000 pc.
When I downloaded the SDK , in Sun's site is a SDK for Windows x64. I
consulted My Computer | properties and my windows is a x64. Should I change
to the x64 SDK or can I use the normal one without any risk ?
(I also instaled the normal JRE that cames with the SDK)

My guess (note: guess) is that if you don't have a special 64 version of
windows
that the normal sdk would work. BTW what sort of computer is it?
And is it expensive?

What is this 64 version? Is there a Win2k for some 64bit chip now?
do you have an Opteron, Power PC or Itanium?
