thanks softpedia................

Would be kinda nice if I could even find the product in the windows marketplace. They stopped listing XP x64, so I can't by a code for the trial I've been running for the last couple months.

i personally like my xp64 system. i personally find it more stable than the 32bit version, except for a few mminor software/hardware compatibility issues, but for the programs I actually need, it is perfect.

but as i mentioned on a MS forum way long ago, it'd be nice if sp3 included MCE functionality to the OS for those of us who have a more stable environment than with Vista (1mo crash rating: vista ultimate x 40 | xp32 & 64 bit x 8).

so yeah, MCE functionality on SP3 would be awesome with the now stable MSXPOS.

XP64 is my lovely operating system. With this operating system, my machines work more powerful. It's so amazing.

But i have a little problem about this operating system. 2 months ago while I operated my computer, suddenly all of my device is not detected this problem starts from my onboard sound while I playing game my sound is disappear. And when I check my device manager, all of my device are lost, it's empty.

And then, I repair my XP64 operating system and clear my problem. So, what's going on with this XP64, is this one of XP64 bug?

My computer specs:
Intel Pentium D 2.8 Ghz
Motherboard PCCHIPS P23G (onboard sound Realteck AC'97)
NVidia GeForce 6200A
Apacer (2x)
Harddisk Seagate 80Gb

64bit XP pro is far more user friendly than Vista 64bit Ultimate.
Pity about being unable to install some early 32bit apps (I understand it's what is called a 16bit stub issue) so a vast collection of Alert Bookmarks is lost, as well as several other apps.
Sound did disappear after an update, but found a 64bit driver was meeded and that fixed it. Serious gripe about 64bit XP and Vista is lack of OEM drivers for some hardware, the MS ones are non existant or crippled. So my Epson printer has no custom paper size capability or ink monitoring, my Zydas USB wireless adapter has no driver, LaserWriter keeps stalling with offending command message. Otherwise I like XP64, and am not sure what issues SP3 if it becomes available would fix, other than perhaps enable some 32bit apps to install, they installed fine on my previous 32bit XP.

XP64 is by far the best operating system out there. Its just unfortunate that 64-bit support is hard to come by these days (although its gradually getting better!) XP64 gives lots of advantages not immediately apearent other than the increased memory limit, and its just cool to be able to say HEY! Im running 64-bit XP!

Its just too bad that microsoft's efforts are largely focused at Vista and Vista 64. Vista should have been an optional add-on for XP! Better yet, with a custom install. Personally, I like DX10, but I could go without everything else.

SP3 for Windows XP x64 = SP3 for Windows Server 2003, because Windows XP x64 is based on Windows Server 2003 and not on Windows XP 32bits... There's no equivalent between SP1 for x86 and SP1 x64, and that is the same for other SP. The 64bits version of Windows XP does not need another Service Pack.
There's no reason to say "64bits version of WinXP doesn't have the same advantages than 32bits one because it doesn't have the last SP"...

I have been using windows XP x64 for the last 2 years, and since the release of SP2 for it, it now runs much more stable and smoothly than it did on SP1. Companies like creative, and nvidia and other companies have started to make drivers for the operating system, and it works like a dream. I get the odd game that doesnt work on it, but most of them do. So I really dont care if they bring out another Service pack for XP x64, cause it works great now. Just seeing the Problems with XP sp3 for x86 systems I dont think it is worth having all that crap in XP that was implemented in Vista, as it has caused alot of problems like the black hole router detection will cause the routers to crash, and Windows live messenger wont install on SP3, you have to install it on SP2 before installing SP3. So in regards to that I will stick with Windows XP x64 edition.

Here is my computer make up:
AMD quad FX-74
L1N64 SLI - WS
8 GIGS RAM
dual 9800 GTX 512MB video Cards
Mirror Raid 150GB Raptor Drives
6 - 1TB Hard Drives
2 Blue Ray DVD burner/Drives SATA
1 Standard DVD burner drive SATA
Creative Fatality Sound Card
I use a specially Built Cooling system to keep the entire thing cool, works like an Air conditioner

I too plumbed for XP 64, after reading many reviews about them both.

It seems like Vista is full of bells and whistles most people don't use, so for a pure workhorse I'm hoping XP64 will do the trick. It certaily seems to be working well so far, plus I've also gone for all the Open Office applications, and then to replace Outlook I've downloaded Thunderbird.

So far, all is looking good...except for my wirelees network adaptor :( ... but I'll keep you posted.

Did you ever find a solution to be able to use Alert Bookmarks with 64 bit? If so, how? lDo you know of any way that I can download all of the URL that I have saved of the years with Alert?

Is there another bookmark similar to Alert that you may have fouund.

Thanks

I love my Windows XP x64 its uber fast, much better then Vista or Windows 7.

Im using Windows XP 64bit , true is like knowing its 64bit makes it 64bit feel , theres completly no difference and its bit lesser compatible than normal version. Not like im moving to 32bit, but for these who have 32bit dont have to worry, u cant see difference over 64bit (only 3gb memory limit+).
I hope * Microsoft make Windows 7 64bit as main line.

Windows Xp 64bit is so light on resources why make a windows 7 when they could just make 64bit Xp Main stream

Your absolutely right... why go to all the trouble making windows 7? why not just perfect XP x64

I've been running XP x64 for almost two years and absolutely love it. There is the occasional glitch due to incompatibility but other than that its solid as a rock. Not to mention the ability to run x64 programs is a real plus.

i have xp 64 bit and works great for me and all my games i would stick and will be sticking with this software for well untill i see windows 7 develop and become copatable with the for ever growing librey of software out there and games , games for me is my main thing ,ok i here other comments that if we are on sp2 on 64 bit its got to be as good as the 32 bit sp3 i can agree with that sum what ,but games like gta 4 need sp3 to be playing on xp , or sp1 on vista at least ..so thats a damb shame for us gamers on 64 bit xp with all this brains and i carnt even run gta4 becouse we carnt get access to a sp3 for 64 ..if any one can help let me no ....i also tryd a crack were u trick your xp to beleve it has sp3 ,it worked a little bit ,it shown up on system as sp3 ,,but gta 4 still dint run so guess making it look like and having the real thing , is a difrent thing all together ....help i need sp3 for xp 64 we need to run gta 4 .....

I just installed xp x64 sp2 from a torrent; it was a all in 1 type deal that had a few dated patches and applications such as ff 3.0.1.

I upgraded all drivers to the x64 and been running relatively problem free. FireFox needed to update as it crashed - a lot, and I have seen 1 bsod claiming a memory management error, which I take blame for stress testing and the fact that 1gb of my ram has been left alone since I built my system in feb 09.

On the bright side, my Saphire ATi HD 4670 has been instantly reborn; with the xp x86 system I had no output to my TV via composite and this issue was resolved that and the gain of 1gb ram are enough to make me happy.

Like many said Vista is now out and 7 needs time before a migration; I'm in it for the raw horse power and convenient almost limitless software that is developed for MS over Linux.

my specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5400+ 2.8GHz
4 GB RAM
ATI HD 4670

Well, I have to say I used x64 for a day. What I thought was a result of my stress testing became a common occourence thru out the day I used XP x64. Save the fact that it did slap my vid card back into producing the fine 780x480 on a CRT-TV (no bad for a crt sitting 11 feet from me); I have prompty reverted to the XP x86 minimalist I have been since switching from NT (I held on to that for as long as I could too.)

To sum up my experience using winXP x64 I would or can only say seeing 4gb of memory was the absolute benifit, crashing apps and 4 or so bsod's made for such a frustrating experience over a 12 hour period I had my resolve:

No x64 - No to Vista and 7; please marketers do you think I'm an idiot?

A famous man once said "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

Very wise man indeed.

to r37r0....um all versions since xp (including xp home, xp pro, xp pro x64, all vista, and windows 7) areall nt...so you didn't let go of that

microsoft sould bring DOS back,no bsod there.

come on Bill bring on DOSx64 :)





if i only could use those 64bit's as much i use my 8's.
