0 Y2kFox Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Windows XP 64 is not for consumers. It is for high-end servers and computers running a 64-bit processor, such as the Itanium from Intel. These processors are about $3,000 each, just for the CPU. XP64 will NOT run on an ordinary Intel or AMD processor, no matter how fast it is, so don't ask if yours will work or ask of there's a patch.
