But XP64 is only beta if I remember well, so until the final version you can't make a fair comparison.

A) Please type properly, not in slang.. its really hard to understand
B) PUNCTUATION!!!
C) I dont exactly understand everything you said, but, from a guess, the answer would agree with hoinar's comment that it is a BETA and that no comparison can be made.. all the drivers (well, i'm guessing) are microsoft's own, and they are not optimized for different hardware types/chipsets.

as far as i understand it, XP64 is better so long as your hardware is supported by it and has drivers, and programs will only run faster that are optimised for 64bit, if its a 32bit program it may run marjonally slower, due to 32bit emulation routines

Lighten up offie! I'm not the most intuitive guy, but I had no problem understanding his post.

If we must correct one another let it be for something important, like breakfast cereals or dress codes ":O}
