Windows XP 64bit....pros and cons?
anyone using it? I have a 64bit processor and was thinking of upgrading this weekend
|
Do you have any programs that can actually take advanatage of the 64 bit processor. I still don't know of many. If not I personally don't see the need to upgrade.
|
Pros: no issues with 3-4GB+ RAM. Cons: A lot of 32bit specific stuff won't work right. Many video codecs, hardware drivers, and some software just shits the bed under XP 64.
Unless you really need more RAM support; there's no reason for it; it won't make things faster, and DEP is a hack anyhow. |
hmm...maybe I won't then, haha
|
Con: Microcrap is going to stop support for XP.

on a vegas board I post on, ive heard pros and cons. It didnt seem like it made a big difference. Sony is coming out with a 64 bit vegas but its for vista 64 bit wont work with xp they said.

And calling tech support is not the same as no longer supporting software you fucking idiot. |

Unless you are running 64bit apps no point to switching really.

Actually once apon a time, microsoft had wonderful paid tech support. You would pay $35 and talk to an engineer on the piece of software you needed help on. Saved a shit load of time but the last time I called about 4 yrs ago. It was some guy in turkey who spoke in broken english and knew nothing. last time I used it.
|
I use it.. because of the amount of ram I have.. and it is nice and fast.. but there is no drivers for it.. fuck.. Itunes is not even supported for XP 64
|
im still waiting for service pack 2 for my amd 64-bit processor :helpme

http://help.lockergnome.com/general/...pict53591.html 2014. Is this seriously what you use to rip on microsoft? What is macs market share again? http://www.macobserver.com/article/2...asc &start=50 2.5% in 2005 in that article. Now.... Ok so lets look at this. Mac is SOOO fucking great right? I seem to recall they were selling apple computers BEFORE Microsoft was shit right? Just explain to me PLEASEEEEEE why after ALL THESE YEARS is their market share of the computer market less than 3%? Let me guess it was a HUGE conspiracy right? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh And btw it takes a special kind of asshole to take bullshit personal potshots at me and my family due to a disagreement over a fucking computer. I hope karma creeps up and nails your ass just like its going to your buddies. :2 cents: :321GFY |
I wouldn't bother. For at least 3 years anyways.

You're just an arrogant Mac user without any real reason, but you're dumb enough to buy the salesmanship that promotes it as 'Different.' You've got Steve's cock so far up your ass it's coming out your nose, and that is the only reason for your mediocre existence; so you can prove your worth by fighting with some dude on a PC in fucking Nashville. Keep reaching for that rainbow, you fucking retard. |

Is there some way I can contact you? This way, when I finally give a shit what you think, I can let you know. |
a lot of programs like real raphsody don't work, and others you have to right-click and "run as administrator" to get them to work.. wireless network adapters also crash quite often.

Pros - I'm running 64 on my lappie and main render whore now...
Definite improvements in mem handling without having to use bcdedit options. All my 32 bits, codecs, whatever the fuck else work just fine... (if your's dont... i don't know, your retarded?) Cons - Sitting through another format and sys install always sucks... |
This thread delivers.
