Martint Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 1) Is there any advantages on using windows 64bit XP Home? I have a AMD 64 PC and when I researched at Microsoft website, the only I found that Windows 64Bit allows more....bits? I couldn't fully understand it. (I have a XP64bit CD from a friend)2) I use my scondary PC for all my server stuff (Apache, mySQL, HLDS, etc....) and I don't have a monitor for it. So I usually control it via RADMIN. Just wondering, if I make my server folder (the folder where i got all those server programs installed) shared and access it via my main computer through network, would there be any issues? My friends and I use Hamachi a lot (hamachi.cc) to play lan games. So, we get into a network and if the above situation works, would they have access to the shared folder? Anyone I can prevent it? I only one my computer to access my secondary computer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Its not ready for everyday use. My understanding is it will be a few years before it is widely used. I think vista oems are also going to be just 32bit for the time beinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_Pr...nal_x64_Edition Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aluvus Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 There is no 64-bit Windows XP Home. There is a 64-bit Windows XP Professional.Performance in some applications is improved a bit. Performance in others is degraded, and a few simply won't run. Driver support is still not good.There is no compelling reason for most users to move to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
