WinXP 32bit or 64bit

[always420]

upon the news of the detonator XP drivers, there are two advanced versions: XP/2000 and XP 64-bit versions. anyone KNOW the difference? i'm running XP Pro, oem version 2002. is the 64-bit XP used exclusively for risc-stations and not intel/amd boxes?

 

[HansXP]

the 64-bit versions run on 64-bit processors. x86 chips are 32-bit.

 

[noninterleaved]

The 64bit version of XP is targetting Intel's new IA64 processor.

 

[n0cmonkey]

Microsoft dropped support for non Intel speced platforms with Win2k. So this is not for "risc" based processors but the upcoming ia64 platform. Hopefully there will be a 64 bit version for the hammer line of AMD chips since they look like the better solultion for now.
