MICROSOFT HAS MADE a trial version of its hotly-anticipated Windows XP for 64-bit AMD chips available for download.

The trial OS is designed, says the Vole, for systems sporting Athlon64 or Opteron processors. Don't bother trying it on an Itanium, it advises.

The software, which is not ready for commercial shipping is available here (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/downloads/upgrade.asp).



System Requirements:

PC with an AMD Athlon64 or Opteron processor
256MB RAM
1.5GB available hard-disk space
Super VGA (800x600) or higher resolution video card
CD-ROM or DVD drive
Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Important: Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems is only compatible with 64-bit AMD Opteron– or Athlon 64-based computers. It cannot be successfully installed on 64-bit Intel Itanium–based systems.

wtf no one has 64 processors :???????

I thought at least a few would qualify

[Robert00000]

I'll download it for when i upgrade my system next year :lol: , or later this year. :D

[muchspl2]

:clap: at least one happy costumer :)
one year trail isn't bad

[ck-uk]

Its still early mate,and not fully compatible,the prices too.If you're after raw power for encodin etc dual cpu. :)

[Mad Cat]

I might get it, I'll tell you what its like later.

64 bit processors wil never get the recognition they deserve. The majority of people do not have them. If only people could see the power of a 64 bit system. They are monster processors.

I give it a year, Shn. It will take AT LEAST a year, but people will realize the power! :01:

Soon, it'll be the only way to go. ;)
People will look at 32-bit processors and say, "NO THANX, GRANDPA!'

I wish I could get a 64-bit processor, but... neeeed moneeeeeey....

Exactly , what do you think thoose big ass mainframes run on :lol:

[bigdawgfoxx]

Why wont it run on any Intel based system? And will the next windows JUST be 64bit compatible or will 32bit CPUs be able to run on it also? I wouldnt buy an Athlon64 as they are going to be changing the sockets soon. Also the mobos cost alot...I will just wait untill they go down to the price of the 32Bit which shouldnt be too long hopefully. Once we all change over to 64bit everything will be so fast and powerful! :)

different architectures im guessing, and optimizations etc.
