Default Windows XP 64-bit - 11-07-2005, 07:37 PM
Are there any real performance gains using the XP64 versus just regular XP Pro?


and would all my programs and games work with the 64 bit OS, im guessing they would be backwards compatible

You'll find general windows activity is alot faster than the 32bit version, but alot of programs will not work, and some drivers clash.

Just wait for vista to arrive.
