honor I obtained this weekend and set up Windows XP 64 to run, a lot of people may not know, through the release Windows XP 64, Microsoft has Windows XP Pro upgrade to a new level. In the subsequent write-up, I is going to be the first experience with the system, and briefly explain the new attributes and we can get the rewards from.
** Notice: In order to make use of the program, you must have 64-bit AMD or Intel processors, the program cannot be installed on computer systems 32-bit processors!
first would be to set up the program hardware configuration:
- Athlon - 3200 - 939 CPU
- SOLTEK / p>
- 2GB - Corsair XMS Excessive Memory Pace Sequence Memory (complete two GB)
- two Maxtor SATA 160GB hard drive (it only took 1)
- CD / DVD Dual drive (Pioneer)
- NVIDIA - PNY - G-Force 6800GT (256MB)
- ImageQuest L90D + 19 the installation method didn't give any equipment overclocking
driver
probably the most troublesome problems all here.
According to Microsoft documentation, run the Windows XP 64-Bit Edition 32-bit laptop or computer cannot set up the driver.
Some applications could not personal the gadget driver to become 64-bit kernel assistance, these applications may not be capable of properly set up, even when the set up or operation lead to errors. most of the 32 anti-virus computer software are applications similar to this, and may not be operating Windows XP 64-Bit Edition-based pc to load.
** This indicates that in case your internal or external gadget no corresponding 64-bit drivers, you could not utilize the present 32-bit driver to exchange.
I recommend you check the following gadget drivers:
- sound card - Inventive Beta Drivers : preview.creativelabs.com / default.aspx
- Graphics:
- NVIDIA is licensed by WHQL (submitted) the driver can be downloaded: www.nvidia.com/ content / drivers / drivers.asp
- ATI Drivers - ATI have Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Catalyst driver - BETA 4 drivers obtainable for download: https: / / assistance.ati.com / ics / assistance / default.asp? deptID = 894 & task = knowledge & folderID = 27
- USB drive - you have to verify the USB machine manufacturer's Web site

install the program
I decided to set up Windows XP (32) and Windows XP 64 dual boot, so the system is set up in a new and separate primary partition.
I When installing a brand new running system to do a thing like sitting there looking at the program set up method. However, the set up of Windows XP 64 and Windows XP similar, but there is an interface caught my attention.
Windows XP 64 startup screen showing > Preliminary expertise
essentially not much different things, Windows 64 and 32-bit Windows XP look almost exactly the same. But 1 thing caught my attention, that is, there are two Internet Explorer icon.
1st icon is the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer browser, and the second icon is the full 64-bit version. There are two versions with the browser were the main reason for a 32-bit browser the use of any IE toolbars or plug-ins are not within the 64-bit version of IE to install and use.
Equipment Manager - on any running program put in, I first want to examine is the Gadget Manager system if there are difficulties. Windows XP 64 found all my hardware devices, in addition to the USB interface to Linksys wireless hubs, and Philips 24-bit sound card.
USB hub is not a big problem here because the program is set up on my desktop pc,
Office Enterprise 2007, but this pc can be a one GB ports directly connected to the DSL router.
sound card is a problem, however. in working personal computers, I like listening to music, so there is no music so I can't stand,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, but I still want to continue using the system.
I visited some old test newsgroups, Microsoft has heard some folks say that drivers in their own compressed bundle includes a By way of chipset used inside the AC 97 8 channel sound card driver. So I restart the system, enabled within the BIOS-board sound card, then reboot back to Windows 64. When I logged in, Windows 64 to find a new hardware and automatically set up the necessary drivers. now you can actually listen to music.
Some men and women may say you: Never use! . of surprise. started the Windows Media Player, and wear headphones, had to lower the volume, because it really is so loud it! and the voice sounded quite clear, this investment is worth.
driver now may be put in, the installation with the application.
install the software
then you could possibly notice that you simply set up any 32-bit programs to the default, after whom, These procedures are really being put in to the Program Files (x86) directory.
and 64-bit applications is the standard installation directory is Plan Files , some older programs might possibly attempt to their installation to the new Plan Files directory, to be able to plan to work properly, you'll want to re-specify the set up directory to the new (x86) System Files directory.
Figure one
method: Windows 64 to display the procedure and you see under Windows XP is slightly different, for example, as shown in Figure 2, the procedure 32-bit programs appear as:
- process name * 32
Figure 2
Although not a big deal, but I feel the really need to mention.
look and feel
Windows 64 look and feel, and Windows XP 32 is virtually no difference, all user applications are still (Notepad, Calculator,
Microsoft Office Professional 2010, WordPad, Remote Desktop, Messenger, Internet Explorer, etc.), so in addition to the overall program pace is basically nothing other than a clear distinction. The application is running fairly smooth, and fast loading (even if it is actually 32-bit plans).
I didn't encounter any crashes, no hangs or does not respond to the situation. the program is operating particularly stable.

been tested and put in an application that may be used
- Office 2003 Professional (including SP1) - Microsoft Front Page 2003 (including SP1) - Microsoft 1 Note (including SP1) - Adobe 7.0 Reader - Crap Cleaner - WinRAR (Small Bug: cannot be integrated into the Windows shell, but the plan may be used normally) - MS VPN connection - Snag-It (Little Bug: When installing Snag- It printer driver, the system requires Windows 2003 Server CD-ROM into the CD-ROM in) - SSH Application (Bitvise SSH Tunnelier) - Nero 6.8 (Small Bug: GART driver's log records the driver can not start, but can normal use) - Registry Defragmentation for Windows (version 7.0) - Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional - Password Corral (v4.0) - GMAIL Notifier - Yahoo DSL Browser and Software
- Sony - Sonic Stage (v3.0) - Apple iTunes - (Small Bug: iTunes may be installed successfully, but when you first run the plan will complain when: software is not designed for this OS. Do you want to continue? as being a) - Avast Private Edition Anti-Virus (the only one I found to use anti-virus software package)
browser
- Internet Explorer (default browser)
- Firefox one.2 (and IE on the system is somewhat slow compared to operating pace) - Advanced Browser - Maxthlon
application performance: all the programs mentioned above, the set up and use of incredibly smooth, and in some cases, even more than in 32-bit operating under Windows XP and more smoothly. I encountered a few difficulties, including:
- Office 2003 SP1 memory error caused However,
Office 2007 Key, installation can continue successfully, and all Office applications have shown that SP1 may be successfully put in. Office suite itself without any complications. - Avast AV - If you view the event log, you might see some about the Avast could not open see this error.
game:
- Halflife two (already put in all the patches by way of Steam) - Doom III (all patches put in) - Have to have for Pace (1 and two, have put in the patch) - UT 2004 (installed patch) - Far Cry (Patch 1.3 installed)
game performance: I know some of you will not believe, but I can say that all the games mentioned above than in the 32-bit Windows, the effect of operating even better. required a shorter load times, better picture quality, sound is also better. Although I was used to integrate sound, sound effects produced quite impressive. I do not know inside the end because the NVIDIA driver or the result of the new operating program, or both meet the need to have this effect.
Do not doubt I reduced the game's quality settings, I enabled all the graphical effects, and shown good results is unprecedented. I have a funny feeling, Windows 64 will soon become a good deal of folks dedicated gaming platform.
can't use the application:
I only have two:
- Perfect Disk 7.0 (do not set up) - I tried All anti-virus software (except Avant AV)
other challenges
- you will notice that the system happens to be installed SP1, I think this is Windows 2003 Server, SP1 (because they are almost was released the same day) - no other program problems (except I mentioned above)
If you've got the appropriate hardware and operating program you want to make use of this, I strongly recommend you immediate action. Meanwhile, I also suggest you make use of the dual-boot program (only the necessary procedures to ensure that it is easy to run it), but also mentally prepared to do a problem.
in the next few months, there will likely be various companies began to release the driver for the running program and application, once you may have all the equipment for its own 64-bit drivers,
Office 2007 Enterprise, it put in quickly and enjoy it.
