The OS is the problem, not the CPU! The Starforce version that comes with SH3 doesn´t work on the 64-bit version of WinXP. SH3 (and every other game) runs just fine on an AMD64 and normal 32-bit WinXP.

Bill, I guess you´ve bought a new Board and CPU and still use the "normal" 32-bit WinXP?!? Have you reinstalled XP after changing the hardware or are you still using the old installation? Have you installed the chipset drivers? Is your PSU powerful enough for the new CPU? It could also be a RAM problem, check it with Memtest86:
