That's a different kettle of fish: I've never used it, but AIUI XP-64
isn't really XP, but something else made to _look_ like XP.


You'd be sorry if you did that, due to the lack of drivers.
The 64-bit version only went up to SP2, and the general reviews
(if you checked on Newegg at the time) were "don't bother".
It's a 64-bit OS only in name, and was a distraction for MS
at the time.


Which I found out when I was scurrying around trying to find an
alternative.
