hmmm win2k3_SP1 is x64RC2 ?

OP
ya x64 XP Pro is same basically as the server but no server, heh. :)
hmmm you are 64bit freak huh ?
do u use it as primary OS or just for testing and the "cool" factor ?
I mean 64 is actually slower then 32for simple reason of the 64 EXTENSION on the 32bit CPU ...
don't take the word to serious don't have any better
but any benchmarks I have seen up to now speak for themselfes ....
until everything is in 64 bit and the advantages are more then the big disadvantage those "mixed" CPUs do have
and at that point a true 64bit CPU will do all the difference
in my eyes all the 64 PR done by AMD is BS since they do not sell real 64bit CPUs
Intel had reason not to hassle into 64 bit But is now forced to do so since most ppl. really do think 64bit is "double" speed but without any aknowledge what is behind.
which is not ment to attack anyone but to think about ...

OP
I currently use x32 cuz of my SLI.
I apologize if this is a stupid question (there are no stupid questions, only stupid people), but if this is essentially a non-server version of 2003, does it have support for 32bit cpus as well, or is it 64bit only?
as far as I know its 64bit only ...
