I'd sit tight until Vista 64 is released....and hope it has drivers for your hardware. I wouldn't go buying XP 64 right now, with Vista about to be released in about a month.Korialstrasza said:How do I "pull it off" ? What do I need to change?
I use XP x64 almost exclusively and I love it.bbz_Ghost said:You can get XP64 for like $65 these days; doesn't hurt to have a legit copy around for future purposes. Considering that's practically the lowest cost ever for an actual legit Windows product, it's a great deal.
You won't be able to buy Vista in a 64 bit version, however. Only the 32 bit versions will be offered for retail sale; not sure about OEM versions. Once you purchase the 32 bit version you can then request the 64 bit version be sent to you for a nominal shipping & handling charge - whereas you could buy that XP64 edition and probably get it in a week or less.
Which means even if Vista does come out January 30th and you buy it on that day, it would probably be March or even April before you'd get your hands on the actual 64 bit install DVD from Microsoft or whoever provides it.
Just my $.02...
Unless you *really* need the RAM more than the speed hit (doubtful), then don't do it!duby229 said:You can enable PAE in the boot.ini file, but expect a massive performance hit. Or move to 64bit.
