Giving up on Windows XP x64
Well, it's been about a week since I installed the 64 bit edition of Windows XP, and yesterday I decided to give up and go back to the good old 32 bit edition. As I mentioned in my previous post, there was just too much weirdness.
What I've done is repartition my drive a little, changing one big boot partition into one 35GB for XP 32bit, and reserving a small 15GB partition which I plan to install the 64 bit edition of Vista beta2 on when it's released. Hopefully that's not too far off.
I have to say, for now Windows XP 32 bit feels much more comfortable, and I can't really point to any performance difference at all. That said, I didn't really find any 64 bit edition of an app I rely on regularly.
