XP or 64

ozzyDe · 20 Apr 2007 at 21:22

I'm running xp pro now, but I was woundering if I would be better of useing XP64 I have a legal copy and all the drivers but is it worth doing.
I was thinking of putting XP64 on a 100gig of my drive and use the other 60 gig to run Vista which I dont have all the drivers for.
anyhow XP64 or Just XP pro?

cheers

I use XP 32 and dual boot with Vista 64. Im favouring vista 64 at the moment over xp. Shame there are no drivers for the G15 yet.

If you don't know what it is then it'll more than likely be 32 bit.

Yup i think your right.

I just cant find drivers for Vista so its win XP 64 which is better than XP pro,
I think I will put a partition aside for vista so dual with xp64 and vista 32
so here we go time to format and put 64 on and vista.

There's Vista 64 drivers up on their site now. I was getting an error message coming up on boot, but they otherwise worked fine.

Trying to install the Logitech 1.03 drivers comes up with this error.

This software requires that you are running a 32-Bit version of Windows 2000, XP, or Server 2003.

Ive tryed to download the 64-bit windows but it STILL comes up with the exact same error. Its even the same drivers.

Yeah I get an error with mine at startup, they seem to work okay though.

Logitech have claimed Vista drivers will be ready later this month.

PhillyDee · 22 Apr 2007 at 23:16

Hmm. How odd.
Ive been trying today to download the 64-bit drivers. And its always just downloaded the normal ones. All of a sudden, I try to do it again, and it lets me download the 64-bit drivers. Works fine now.
How very very odd.

is win xp64 at all faster than 32xp?
Its nuts just as you get used to one OS then along comes an other.
win2000pro
XP home
XP pro 32 or 64 bit
and now about 5 diffrent types of Vista.
