Windows XP Professional x64 Edition 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.
Performance benefits for specialized, technical applications
The performance of 64-bit computing offers advantages in fields such as automobile
or airplane design, by allowing engineers to create larger, more complex models.
With such systems, engineers can use simulation software to analyze the effects
of airflow, stress, and heat on materials of a car or plane, and then study
the results to improve product design. Likewise, 64-bit computing is a benefit
for digital content creators, including 3-D animators, digital artists, and
game developers who can significantly reduce the time spent to digitally render
three-dimensional models. In the areas of scientific and high performance computing,
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition will aid in oil and gas exploration, seismic
analysis, computational fluid dynamics and scientific visualization, among other
applications. Very large memory support, familiar Windows desktop
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition runs on the AMD Athlon 64, AMD Opteron,
Intel Xeon with EM64T, and Intel Pentium 4 with EM64T as the platform for customers
who are reaching the memory limits of 32-bit systems. The key difference between
32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP-based computing lies in the 64-bit version s
ability to use much more system memory. Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
initially supports up to 128 gigabytes (GB) of RAM and up to 16 terabytes of
virtual memory. Single desktop for technical and business applications
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition provides a single desktop for technical
and business applications, eliminating the need for technical workstation users
to maintain a PC for business applications and a separate workstation for high-end
technical applications. Most Windows-compatible 32-bit applications run "as
is" in a subsystem of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition with comparable
performance to 32-bit Windows. Workstation users can take advantage of rich
integration capabilities and productivity tools on the Windows platform. Windows
XP Professional x64 Edition systems can be added to existing Windows-based networks
and managed alongside 32-bit systems with the same administrative tools, making
life easier for the IT department. Overhead costs for maintaining and administering
two systems are reduced. Increased reliability and security on
the desktop
Built on the Windows Server 2003 SP1 code-base, Windows XP Professional x64
provides increased reliability for business critical desktop computing. Users
can now experience the stability and security of a server product on their PC. Windows
XP Professional x64 Edition also includes the security features of Windows XP
Service Pack 2 (SP2) providing better protection against viruses, hackers, and
worms, and includes Windows Firewall, Pop-up Blocker for Internet Explorer,
and the new Windows Security Center. With Windows XP Professional x64 Edition,
users can confidently run their most mission critical applications with increased
reliability, security, and performance. Best platform for new
generation of applications
Developers with 32-bit Windows skills will be comfortable and productive creating
the next generation of application for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
Developers will find the development environment virtually identical to the
development environment for 32-bit Windows; the Microsoft Win64 application
programming interface (API) is the same as the Microsoft Win32 API. The
existing APIs have been modified where necessary to allow them to reflect the
precision of the platform on which they are running. The result is programming
simplicity and a short learning curve for the developer writing code for
64-bit Windows is just like writing code for 32-bit Windows.. Important:
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition cannot be successfully installed on x86
(32-bit) systems or 64-bit Intel Itanium based systems. 32-bit device
drivers are not supported on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
