Run any DC apps on winXP64? any preformance gains?

[UlricT]

Just was wondering whether anyone has tried this out yet. As Wesley's benchmark shows, there is a 15% increase in media encoding performance... so I was just wondering what [erformance gains are to be expected here.

Well..... I just setup a AMD64 3200+ with 1GB 400 RAM and 2 SATA 36G 10,000 RPM Raptors raid0
I could not get the SATA driver to load so I installed on a Seagate 7200RPM SATA drive.
I dont think the drives have an impact on SETI
Seti times on the WinXP32 are after 11 WUs 1:53. WinXP64 3 WU 3:25
So at least with SETI and my setup times suck!!! I went back to WinXP32 quick.

Hope this helps.

XP 64 bit??? May I ask how or where you got your hands on a copy? 🙂

You can get the preview versions of Windows XP 64-bit edition or Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition free from Microsoft. 😎

Beware though that driver support is limited, and this isn't a final yet, so it might be buggy.

I suppose these are averages right... well, do you guys know whether BOINC is gonna support XP64?

Yep.

Thanks, J 🙂

since there isn't code (for windows XP64) writen for the seti client yet that makes use of the added registers of the amd64, you won't see a performance gain.
