your win xp x64 experience

[CTA]

i use to x64 for almost 1 month and i really dont see any difference from my old win xp sp3...

x64 have too many disadvantages (almost same for vista)...

huge disadantages;

- not many softwares are for x64... esspecially old softwares and goodies...
- have to install both x64 and x86...
- hmmm i cant think of more...

so what is your solution... [if you have 4gb or more ram...] are you upgrade to vista or go back to xp x86 again? or live with it... eh...?

i believe x64 is not ready until all x86 is disconnected... so it will make everything more easier...


i also think about to try vista (or even x64 << probably huge different than xp x84) because i believe everything is changing compare to last year... isn't it..?


ps. i hate "three words or more" seach rule ;[

are you kidding?

haha I've been running xp x64 for over a year.. name something that doesn't work in it?

1) Same applies for Vista; 99% of stuff is not 64bit and is only 32bit
2) No you don't; 32bit works fine in 64bit
3) Of course not you haven't made a good argument.

Oh and Catalogue of 64-bit Software

I'm dual booting Vista 64 and XPx86, and I'm finding that I'm not even using XP anymore. Everything works fine under Vista 64 as far as I've found. Haven't ever used XP 64 but I'm assuming software would be fine for the most part. Some games might not work out so well.

But the only main concern I would have in 64 bit environments is Driver support. But if your hardware has driver support in XP 64, then its all good!

The only thing that I've found that wouldn't run was Sacred when I tried to install it. Also there is no Flash written for 64 bit yet, so I usually use the 32 bit IE or Firefox. Great OS IMHO.

Thing of it is, there has been 64 bit OS around for a very long time. Just MS was [laying on 8086 chips when ther big boys were doing mainframes and slim terminals. I hope they can learn fast enough, coz, it looks like Sun, HP, IBM, and even Cray are starting to make linux run everything.

I used XP 64-bit for probably a good year, and not once did I have a problem with it. There wasn't a single application that I used that I had problems installing/running. Except for the PowerToy applications. My experience was phenomenal. It just felt so much snappier than 32-bit XP.
