I know there have been beta's released for the new Windows XP x64 eddition I'm assuming the only improvment or change is the fact that's it's 64 bit now correct?  Will all the programs that work in the current version of XP work in XP x64?

Just curious

Its just an operating system that only works with 64 Bit Processors afaik.

I have a PIII 1.0 gigz processor

Then it's just a waste of money

It is pretty much only for 64-bit processors, and its not fully compatible with much stuff really yet so, there is no point at all...

AMD Athlon 64 and stuff would be appropriate...

It will ONLY run on a processor with 64-bit architecture.

Basically it makes Windows itself run faster for 64-bit processors AND it makes APPs launch/shutdown faster. That's about it now bcz of how few things take advantage of x64.

Btw - your processor is 32-bit, mine's 64-bit (I have an AMD Athlon 64 3500+)

k thanks

Just means it can do more things at once bascially . Did any of you read on Neowin that Intel are testing their P4 64bit?

how do you find out what yours is?

mine just says Intel( R) Pentium( R) 4 2.80Ghz

Look up on the web

Only AMD have made 64 bit processers that are available for desktop pcs

So that rules out your processer
