Win XP Pro vs. WinXP x64 Pro

[Lawrence A. Wong]

I was just wondering.... what are the significant differences between
Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Profesional x64-Bit Edition?

Other than the 64-bit arcitecture, are there any other significant
changes/differences between the two?

Hi,

64-bit is a new architecture than the 32-bit architecture. Programs have to
be written specifically for 64-bit to take advantage of the 64 bit hardware.
even 32 bit softwares will work but they will not improve.

Can you give us the names of some of the programs that was design
specifically for the x64 format?

 

[S.Sengupta]

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is designed to meet the demands of
customers who require large amounts of memory and floating point
performance in areas such as mechanical design and analysis, 3-D
animation, video editing and composition, and scientific and
high-performance computing applications.
