Window XP Professional x64 Edition - High Performance Computing

Window XP Professional x64 Edition gives you access to greater amounts of memory while continuing to support 32-bit applications.

Windows XP 64 bits is designed for you if you're looking for large amounts of memory and improved floating-point performance.

It can perform tasks that rely on real-number data, such as mechanical design and analysis, three-dimensional (3-D) animation, video editing and composition, and scientific and high-performance computing.

It is based upon Windows Server 2003 SP1 since that was the latest version of Microsoft's Windows during the operating system's development.

The primary benefit of moving to Windows XP 64 bits is the increase in maximum allocatable system memory (RAM).

Although it can support about 16 billion gigabytes, Windows XP 64 bits is limited to 128 GB of physical memory and 16 TB of virtual memory.

Windows XP 32-bit is limited to a total of 4 GB.

Compatibility with 32-bit applications

A technology named WOW64 (Windows on Windows) permits the execution of 32-bit applications.

As a result it suffers no performance loss when executing 32-bit applications.

The mixing of the two types of code within the same process is not allowed.
