Have downloaded above from M/Soft with reg key before thinking of building Socket 939 system.
Has any one used this yet in their 64 Bit system, if so how does it pan out ?
 
I used the first beta a while ago wasn't too impressed, the seocnd beta landed on my desk yesterday, but haven't looked at it yet
 
you're gonna have driver problems, all in all, I think you'll be fine with 32 bits..just tri boot with win 64, the 32 bit xp and the linux 64 bit

for end users, for now, not any real gain with the os

this is more for large Windows servers that are running into restrictions on how much work they can do, how many clients they can support, because of limits on the address space available for the file cache.

64 bit os's are operating systems that can use a 64 bit address space.

there'is nothing that prevents operating systems, applications, and database servers running on 32 bit platforms from using 64 bit integers for differant purposes.

basically the 64 allows better memory access also, "long mode" on amd64 gives you access to 64 bit registers, more general purpose registers, and similar things that'll help well compiled code.

also, benefits to the paged and nonpaged pools. With 48 TB of virtual address space, limits disappear.

none of this means much to us, and the os becomes just a toy for us to play with
 
64Bit Linux rocks, also them G5's are nice used one thursday
 
My dads gf has a 64bit chip and uses 32bit windows and 64bit on the other drive and i can tell a difference in 32bit. I am hopin to get 64bit this christmas or next. :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
