Re: 64 bit processors and OSes
Amd64 and EMT64 as intel call it are basically 64bit extensions on a x86 core. Dont expect massive increase in peformance. The only proper 64bit OS's out are MacOS X, tiger, Linux with a 64bit kernel, Solaris and maybe BeOS although not checked.
Re: 64 bit processors and OSes
I ordered the windows XP 64 bit Professional on a CD free 120 day trial version. Lets see what happens there. But any links etc will also help. I have been googling and I will be posting some valuable links soon.
Thanks to both of you for the input so far.
