I am so blown away by the engagement this video and my last video have gotten! What an AWESOME feeling to see this many views and this many comments. I appreciate each and every one of you! So much!

I downgraded from Vista to XP x64 and it was awesome. It was basically Server 2003 with the XP stuff on top. I remember it being rock solid, but getting drivers for anything was an absolute pain back then

remember that your experiment is at the end of driver development with no ongoing windows updates. when we were getting xp 64 as it came out, driver development was ongoing and buggy. windows updates were coming in, breaking stuff along the way. being at the end here has its advantages.

i ran xp x64, it ran smooth. but there wasn't a lot of 64 bit software at the time.. the big thing about it was it could handle waaay more ram, which i needed.

This is my all-time favorite OS. I have built such a powerful computer to run it: Xeon E5-2697v2 ASUS P9-X79-E WS 64 GB DDR3-1600 ECC 4x Quadro M6000 / 2x GTX TITAN X (SLI does not work) 1600w PSU 80+ Platinum 3 DVD/CD drives Glad to see more people enjoying this OS.

I had a really good experience with xp x64. No driver problems or anything.

Spreading thermal paste with your finger? Now I've seen it all.

yeah i remmember x64 being a nightmare for driver support back in the day felt like a poorly done prototype OS.

It’s funny, but I remember XP64 the same way. Back in the 2000s I predominantly ran Win2K on my work PCs and XP on my home and gaming machines. I honestly cannot remember why I had avoided XP64. Heck, I was still running XP all the way to 2015 and inadvertently skipped over Win7 entirely lol. Last year I came across a bunch of LGA775 motherboards and components I forgot I had, and built out a few XP machines. For shits-n-giggles I decided to give XP64 a try, and damn do I wish I had done it back when it was still relevant. An overclocked Core 2 Quad Q9550, with 8GB of DDR2, and an ATI HD5770 is an absolute beast of an XP machine. Every game and piece of software I have thrown at it has worked flawlessly. Granted I am not using the system on a daily basis, but I have had zero stability issues running the old CAD/CAM software I used back then as well as hours of gaming. Only thing I have not yet tried, is some of the 16bit software I have kicking around from the 90s that I was still using well into the 2000s.

I tried to run it way back when, and it was a trainwreck. Went back to 32, and smooth as silk. Besides, at the time, so few 64 bit software titles that were out there that it made no real difference.

I ran XP x64 on my Core I3 first gen with 4G (later 6G) DDR3 RAM and integrated Intel graphics laptop. The computer came with Win7 Home Premium and I installed XP on it just for fun. First time I installed it in IDE mode and then installed SATA AHCI drivers but later I slipstreamed AHCI drivers and made my custom CD with all the drivers needed for that computer. It ran great, rock solid, without any issues. All the driverswere spot on and overall using the computer was a really good experience. The only difference to Windows 7 was that the battery lasted more on Win7 than XP.

you must trying One Core API, maybe its can adding more compability into the x64 version of Windows XP

I had no idea the perception of x64 was that bad in places, I ran an early Opteron chip using it for the longest time since I had all the drivers in 64-bit land as well. Smooth as butter in my experience from the day.

I had xp64 before, mostly for some emulators like Mame that started supporting 64bit and they run indeed faster than their 32bit versions, all perfectly stable. But other than that, I dont remember xp64 being something more useful than the standart xp, plus later 64bit applications didnt support xp64 but needed Vista or 7. So that was it, just an experiment from Microsoft, perfectly stable at least.

I used Windows XP x64. Considering very unstable RAM patches for XP x32, x64 is really the most normal version for using XP on not-that-old PC.

I used XP Pro x64 edition for like 3 years, it was perfectly fine. Compatibility for certain things was hit or miss, but overall it wasn't bad.

I think the only issue most folks had were obtaining drivers when XP x64 came out. It was not that the OS was bad, it was that the OEM/hardware manufacturers were a bit slow with their release of signed drivers.

I had, and still do have Win XP on one of my computers, win 7 - 10 on the other 2 computers :). I will NEVER use win 11. Look people, before you start calling a dumbass. I PAID 199.00 for that Windows XP Pro when it came out :)

well done

64 bit xp was the best windows o.s ever.

Use windows XP 64 daily still, on an work machine (no internet access) very stable, but atlast it will be replaced, mosly due hardware it run 24/7 on is getting very old noe.

I used win XP x64 on a single core AMD Athlon 64 XP machine and the experience wasn't good, mostly because of many applications not supported on 64 bit OS. As far as I can recall even MSN messenger didn't run. It was however stable.

My core 2 duo e8500 and nvidia gts 450 both had drivers and all was running smooth, i ran it back in 2009, found it better than windows 7 at that time. It was however a cat and mouse game, if your hardware was older.

Great os 👍

It IS actually cheating using newer hardware, because it will have more mature/stable x64 drivers. The bad eXPerience with XP x64 back in the day was mainly driver support/stability. Updates where also hand-me-downs from Server 2003 which also brought some bugs/problems. Using Server 2003 x64 was probably a better experience than using XP x64. I went directly from XP x86 to Windows 7 x86/x64, so I'm just recalling what I read from people experiences.

NFS Porsche cool

nice video, but please, clean your monitor screen, is a little bit dusty ;-) 12:10

I have that same computer case with a ryzen 7 1700 a rx 580 and 32 gb of 2666 mhz ddr4

would u give me that pc for free?

A well meant suggestion: Speak a bit faster/with fewer pauses, please. It might sound more natural or like a hangout. But for someone like me, who randomly clicked your video, it doesn't hold my attention very long if you hm and hah your way through the computer parts for the first two minutes, when this video seems to be about WinXP.

did you just spread the thermalpaste with your finger ? I mean using the cooler to spread or that thing is 1 thing but the finger
