Benchmarks comparing 32-bit XP and 64-bit XP?

[Jon Davis]

Does anyone know of benchmarks comparing the FINAL release of the 64-bit
Windows XP vs. the 32-bit version, with an AMD 64-bit processor? Also want
to see compatibility test results.

BETA VERSION BENCHMARKS / TEST RESULTS DO NOT COUNT.

I'm about to get a laptop and will probably get one with a 64-bit processor
from AMD. The options I'm choosing from come with XP Home Edition
preinstalled. I will upgrade to XP 64-bit as I am a developer w/ an MSDN
Universal subscription.

Thanks,
Jon

This doesn't answer the benchmarking question.

However, it appears that I did post in error, since the 2003 edition is the
most recent version and it is still a Beta release.

The final version of 64-bit WinXP for AMD Opteron isn't out yet. Only
a beta version has been released.

Any word on a final release date?

Also, is simultaneous 32-bit + 64-bit execution (i.e. 32-bit ActiveX within
64-bit Internet Explorer) ever going to be possible, such as in a WoW
wrapper of some kind?
