No iPhone For 64-Bit Windows

Posted by kdawson on from the very-fine-print dept.

Mizled writes "After buying a new iPhone yesterday and bringing it home to sync and activate it, I found out that Windows 64-bit is not supported. Neither XP 64-bit nor Vista 64-bit works with the iPhone. I called the Apple support line and the rep said I needed to downgrade my computer from a 64-bit operating system. I also posted about my concerns on the Apple iPhone discussion forums, but my post was quickly removed."

  1. 64 bit but do you have the memory ?? by PermanentMarker · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I just wonder for all the home PC's 64 bit platform do you have more then 4 GIG ram inside ?
    If not why did you install a 64 bit OS ?

    To me it makes no sense to be capeable of adressing lots of memory in a 64 bit architecture, while not having this amount of memory (then i gues it's rather more overhead then a performance gain)...

    So probaply they where right.
