    I heared folks are complaining that the Media Player on XP64 doesn't release resources, so the system crawls after they play a video file and close the player.

    Great. Maybe now we'll finally see the performance increases that were promised with the original Pentium lines. :P

    Is it really that much diffferent that XP Pro? I dont think too many people are going to pay $XX more for something that is not that much different.

    I just ordered my first Pentium 4 today, guess I have no use for this XP64.

    If your P4 is a 6XX model chip, it MAY work with XP64.

    I know sarcasm is hard to convey over the 'net, but come on.

    On another note, has anyone actually played with a 64-bit processor on a 64-bit OS? What is the performance like?

    Have to wait for a new chip and a PCI express slot here: as
    the 64 bit version of WINDERS released today doesn't load when sensing a 32 bit processor

    yes - for quite a while .. first with sgi's years ago and for almost a year w/ XP64


    btw ... dvdfab installs 64 bit drivers / support now, backup and burning .. first back up dvd app that truly works in 64bit mode using XP64 (many other backup and buring apps dont work)

    on the other hand - several encoding apps seem slower on XP64 (as they are operating in 32bit mode) than on the same machine running XP32

    i'm waiting for more 64bit apps ..

    Microsoft has Window$ XP Pro x64 edition for only $12 to owners of 64-bit capable PCs with XP Pro. I think it's actually free and the cost covers shipping. $22 USD for International shipments.

    https://microsoft.productorder.com/clientx64/default.aspx

    NOTE: this seems to be for systems 64-bit systems with XP Pro preinstalled, but you'll qualify as long as you've purchased or ordered your PC before July, 31 2005.

    I know this might sound stupid but wouldn't a XP 256bit version been better?
    Big Government is Big Business.. just without a product and at twice the price... after all if the opposite of pro is con then wouldn’t the opposite of progress be congress?
