Whats faster XP 64bit or Vista Ultimate

Jon Boy · 09-10-2007, 01:50 AM

Was just wondering how much benifit does a 64bit OS have over a 32bit?

And what would be quicker XP pro Corporate 64bit OR Vista Ultimate 64bit?

I am assuming XP as it does not drain so much resouces. Ohh and price is an issue.

Ohh Just checked the price of coporate and its a bit expensive

. And found I can get 64 bit on Vista Home lol.

Ohh well question still remains im interested in which would perform faster.

Probably XP as it's less Ram hungry.

Why are you looking at the corporate version? Just get XP Pro, as Vista uses alot more resources and will have issues with some programs.

Definately XP. Vista uses 512mb ram just to exist...

XP Professional x64 is 64 bit, theres nothing "corporate" or "enterprise" about it.

Lol ohh HAHAHA im silly

. I just assumed it was corporate as 64bit was apparently released for well big businesses and saw corporate edition for sale for alot of money and put 2 and 2 together and thought it was well the only one

.

I can give Profetional 64bit a look then

Thanks
