I have the 32 bit XP and 64 bit XP on my machine(dual boot). I haven't had any problems yet. Silo works nice on XP 64, Wacom has drivers for XP 64. I keep my 32 bit XP just in case some new programs I try refuse to work in XP 64 though.
You're about as likely to find drivers for XP 64 as you are for vista 64. Maybe in a few years this would be a problem, and maybe in a few years vista will be a stable OS, so its a wash really. =)
I would say Vista x64 I use it at home works fine! I would not suggest xp 64 as it will need special drivers that a lot of companies are not developing for since Vista is out and xp 64 did not sell in comparison.
The only issue I have found is that finding drivers for some items like wireless cards, scanners and such aren't as prevalent, as advanced, (or even exist) for XP 64 versus Vista 64. Im sure it works great with programs that can run in 64, especially since your not dealing with the resource hog of Vista fluff. My…
I work under Vista ultimate 64 and all the programs i use run perfect! If you go after a 64 bit OS, I would say Vista. I'm working with some quadro fx videocards and one 8400GS. modo runs great with the 8400GS (less than 30 euro and as good as a quadro O.O)
I was just about to post to this forum with the exact same question! I'm making the jump to 64-bit and the only question has been Vista or XP... I'm leaning toward XP 64-bit. The biggest issue right now is I'm having a hard time finding it for sale online. I found this...…
I had xp 64 on a p4ht machine at work, I used it for about 2 years with no issue, the only reason I was forced to change was because the office's free virus software didn't have a free 64 bit version. I was running max 8 and ps cs2 on it with no issues, it was a dell machine though and had a quadro graphics card. My new…
I have used windows xp64 for a year now and I haven't had a single real problem with it yet. Only thing really, is that there are no drivers for older peripheral devices like my scanner and my mobile phone which I connect to my older rig. But this problem is obviously the same for Vista 64. If you only have one computer…
but can anyone confirm that XP64 is actually faster as Vista 64? - the problem I have with vista but also the CS3 suite from adobe is that it got way slower compared to older versions. Would it be 10 - 30% faster using XP64 instead of the consumer Vista version?
