I RECENTLY PURCHASED ONE PC WITH P5N E SLI BOARD (BIOS REVISION NO -0608) AND INTEL Q6600 QUAAD CORE PROCESSOR, TRANSCEND 800MHz 1GB X 2 RAMS, - SPARKLE GEF 8600GT 256MB DDR3 GRAPFIC CARD-WIN XP 32 BIT OS.

THE SYSTEM HANGS UP FREQUENTLY DURING WORKING PERIOD AND ALSO DURING INTERNET CONNECTIVITY, THE SYSTEM REPEATEDLY HANGS UP. IN THE MOTHER BOARD MANUAL , SUPPORTED 'OS' ARE GIVEN AS WIN XP 64 BIT, WIN SERVER 2003(Enterprise edition), WIN VISTA.,but not mentioned about WIN XP 32 bit.

I REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION WHETHER I SHALL USE COMPULSORILY WIN XP 64 BIT, OR I CAN CONTINUE WIN XP 32 BIT ?

THE PROBLEM OF HANGING UP IS WITH 'OS' OR ANY HARDWARE PROBLEM ? AND HOW TO SOLVE IT? Is WIN XP 32 bit not compatiable for the ASUS P5N-E SLI mother board?

I also mention i have removed win xp 32bit and installed win advanced server 2000, after which the system works excellently with out the above mentioned problems, but there is no plug & play USB support, due to which I am not able to use my HP1125 deskjet printer and pen drives. What is the alternative?
