Microsoft Windows XP x64

Syracuse508 · 07-24-2005, 02:52 AM

I plan on buying the new Windows x64 operating system to go with my 64 bit processor. I need to know the goods and bads about it and some warnings about it. I have recently heard something about how the drivers on some hardware, such as printers, etc., will not work with this operationg system. Please fill me in with information about this operating system. Thank you.

find out what hardware you have in your computer and try to see if there are x64 drivers for them. most 32bit programs will no longer work with the 64bit os.
