First I want to tell you that I already tried windows Vista and XP x64 and
I am disappointed. I think that missing drivers and limited programs usege is
enough. I could mention also several bugs.
Now I am sure it's much better to use 32-bit Windows even i had AMD 3+.
But i can't choose 2003 (x32) or XP(x32) /for AMD x64 3+/ and i would like
to get some performance advise. I will use my computer for almost everithing.
Design software (without video), programming, several heavy games and 24hour
browsing and downloading. Of course I wan't need most of 2003 server services
and options but on the other side i think 2003 is more up to date. I am
waiting for advises for my choice.
Sorry for the bad english.

2003 is a server version of XP which may not be suitable for workstation
use. XP would be a better choice. It is not correct that 2003 is more up
to date.

Maybe in most cases 2003 server would not be more suitable for workstation
rather than XP, but I am sure that 2003 is more up to date and it's more
secure.
I have posted this discussion to the Windows x64 newsgroup and there is
answers from Microsoft assistants or programmers (I don't know), so if
someone want's to join the discussion let's do that in "Windows 64bit
Edition" newsgroup:
