Google is your friend:

Except for a few problems, it should work. Of course, nothing is for certain, maybe somebody else knows for sure?

didnt work for me, none of the drivers for almost anything didnt install

Re: 64 bit windows...

Works perfectly. PB and all drivers are supported that I use. Nvidia, Creative and ATI are all providing 64bit drivers. It allows for large RAM support and fully utilizes the 64 bit chips. When you install BF2 you get a warning. Just ignore and continue.


Obviously BF2 is 32 bit but I can see noticeable advantages to the 2003 server based kernel over XP.

PM if you want any more info as this is a flamable area.

I don't see any reason in using 64-bit windows yet...but whatever floats your boat :)
I hear from Winsupersite.com that many programs don't install in it

works great for me and it runs awsome.

Advantage to 64-bit is that it actually recognizes 4GB of RAM, where 32-bit only recognizes 2GB, I think. Just tell me I'm wrong if I am, don't flame .

Re: 64 bit windows...

The RAM issue is because of the Kernel XP is NT based and XP64 is Server 2003. If you google 3GB switch you learn about XPs support for up to 3GB. Where you run in to problems is in populating dual channel RAM slots with 3GB sticks... It will handle 3GB with 2x1GB and 2x512 in dual channel.

Quoting M$ on XP64

"Large memory support. Supports up to 16 GB of RAM and 16 TB of virtual memory, enabling applications to run faster when working with large data sets. Applications can preload substantially more data into virtual memory, allowing rapid access by the Intel Itanium processor. This reduces the time for loading data into virtual memory or seeking, reading and writing to data storage devices, thus making applications run faster and more efficiently."

Re: 64 bit windows...

64 bit has alot more stuff than just the memory, anyways it should work, almost every game should work, windows64 uses an emulator to play 32bit games kind of like Linux. Any questions
