  1. Re:Don't Bother With XP64 Especially on Corp Netwo on Are You Switching to 64-bit Processors? · · Score: 1

    I removed XP64 yesterday at work and will likely remove it at home during the holidays. Now all my printers are available, my scanner works. I hope Vista 64 is better supported.

  2. Don't Bother With XP64 Especially on Corp Network on Are You Switching to 64-bit Processors? · · Score: 2, Informative

    XP64 never reached critical driver support. I do high end GIS at work and thought XP64 would be great for a workstation......wrong. I can't find drivers for many of the printers on the network and my scanner does not work. Also many of the software developers for don't support XP64 so if you have a problem they'll blame it on XP64 noteably Autodesk with their latest bug ridden Autocad Map program. Also during the Vista beta program I had nothing but trouble with Creative products using Vista 64. All problems disappeared when using Vista 32. I am removing XP64 from both my home and work computers. Not a chance I'd buy Vista 64.
