99% no problem

edit: duh next time i will read the thread title first

i dont think you can put xp64 on a 32 bit proc machine

True, you need a 64bit cpu to install xp64. And if those are the older xeons then they are only 32bit. AFAIK

[jacksc02]

yeah i thought so

[DaForce]

And just to confirm. Straight from the horses mouth

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.•

Requirements:
Computer with a supported processor: AMD Athlon 64, AMD Opteron, Intel Xeon with Intel EM64T support, Intel Pentium 4 with Intel EM64T support

thanks guys

further question:

given that older xeons cnt run 64 bit XP, will there be a problem if one system runs on 32 bit xp while others on 64 bit xp in a network. OR will problem on DR/ IR map calculation, etc arise?
