64bit PC OS Suggestion

Richard Hawsley · February 2005

Just about to order my self a PC with an AMD 64 processor. one question I want to ask is what OS would be an ideal choice to use on a system like this.

Im mainly looking at:
Windows XP Pro SP2
Windows XP Pro x64 RC1
Windows Longhorn Build 4083

I understand that 2 of those are pre release but they are designed to take full advantage of the hardware whereas WinXP Pro SP2 isnt.

Any comments and advice would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks
Richard

I'd say stick with XP SP2, and move up to XP x64 when it's RTMed. Don't bother with Longhorn until it's gone beta.

Yea, it'll still be a very fast XP system. An Ath64 was at the top of my list of wishes until recently, they're definitely very awesome machines.
