quote: exactly! but with vista, i reckon the 32bit one will be phased out, and becore more of a workstation platform (eg nt4 vs w95/w98) but for now both will be launched at the same market then the 64bit editions will flourish what gets me though, is the rumoured amount of versions for Vista... quote: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_editions.asp crikey!! that link also gives info on the 32 & 64bit flavours!

The 32 and 64 bit versions of xp just now are seperate distros though, so just the same. | |

quote: fraid not ;) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/evaluate/hardware/entpguid.mspx#ECAA note under AMD, that Sempron is listed as supported, and Intel support P4 with HT Tech, there are seperate mentions for 64bit CPU's all over the show, but 32bit support will be available via a seperate 'distro' BUT 32bit will be phased out, as more hardware vendors jump onboard the 64bit bandwagon with Vista, so the 32bit will be mainly for legacy, and I reckon, eventually only available as Vista Embedded in some time to come... | |
