Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is an edition of Microsoft's Windows XP operating system that supports the x86-64 architecture. It was released on April 25, 2005 alongside the x86-64 versions of Windows Server 2003.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is designed to use the expanded 64-bit memory address space provided by the x86-64 64-bit extensions to the x86 IA-32 architecture, which was implemented by AMD as "AMD64", found in AMD's Opteron, Athlon 64 chips (and in selected Sempron processors), and implemented by Intel as "Intel 64" (formerly known as IA-32e and EM64T), found in some of Intel's Pentium 4 and most of Intel's later chips since the Core series.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition uses the same kernel and code tree as Windows Server 2003 and is serviced by the same service packs. However, it includes client features of Windows XP such as System Restore, Windows Messenger, Fast User Switching, Welcome Screen, Security Center and games, of which Windows Server 2003 does not have.
During the initial development phases (2003–2004), Windows XP Professional x64 Edition was named Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems and later as Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for Extended Systems, as opposed to 64-Bit Edition for Itanium Systems for Windows XP 64-Bit Edition, as the latter was designed for the IA-64 (Itanium) architecture.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition offers a number of new and updated features not found in the main 32-bit x86 versions of Windows XP:
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is based on the Windows Server 2003 kernel and codebase, which is newer than 32-bit Windows XP (by about two years) and has improvements to enhance scalability. It also introduces Kernel Patch Protection (also known as PatchGuard) to improve security by helping to eliminate rootkits.
The primary benefit of moving to 64-bit is the increase in the maximum allocatable random-access memory (RAM). 32-bit editions of Windows XP are limited to a total of 4 gigabytes. Although the theoretical memory limit of a 64-bit computer is about 16 exabytes (17.1 billion gigabytes), Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is limited to 128 GB of physical memory and 16 terabytes of virtual memory.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition also offers a number of benefits/advantages over the main 32-bit x86 versions of Windows XP:
