I am considering upgrading my system to an AMD FX-57 or FX-60.

These are 64 bit processors that require the 64 bit edition of Windows.

I read in a "user review" of the 57 at Newegg that neither NAV nor McAffee support this version of
Windows.

Is this true, and if they do not, are there good 64 bit anti-virus programs available that anyone  here
has some experience with?

Also, do most higher level programs run seamlessly on the 64 bit processors?  I assume that the
anti-virus programs work at a somewhat more basic level than most games, for example.

TIA
