64 bits is 64 bits. tbh, most 64 bits systems just use ram and cpu access, and cpu instructions 64 bit long. ram addressing is 48 bits, iirc

48 bit is more than enough too

*for now, for the common user

going to bring my dog home after a few days out, see you later

they said the same about 32 bits in the 90s

@bpwel you verge on trolling, but it's much more likely you're a minor born into the 64-bit CPU world. Computer technology and requirements expand all the time. What was acceptable in 1996 is no longer in 2022. It doesn't mean anything was based around "greed" (not sure what you think that word means). In 2040 you may as well be scoffing OSes from the 2020s for "being too greedy to allow files bigger than 16EB"

i was born in 2003. the same year 64 bit hit the market. but i remember using windows 32 bit xp, vista, 7 as a kid.

this explains everything

to be fair 64 bit windows wasnt released until 2005 and 64 bit macos wasnt released until 2009

i also lived in a time when the original volkswagen beetle was still being made

wtf, it has been produced till the 2000s

i get the feeling this person tries to sound smart by using big words, yet fails to fool anyone since almost everyone in there knows a thing or two more about computers

"im smarter than microsoft" hahahahahahahahahahhaahahah

they doubled down on their wrongness and gave the compatibility excuse. if they care so much about compatibility explain why xp 32 bit drivers dont work on xp 64 bit.

Hyperbased in Hyperspace: because they didnt bother to add support

what is this bot?

Hyperbased in Hyperspace: it bridges to a matrix channel

also why isnt xp, vista 32 bit, 7 32 bit compatible with gpt? macos got gpt support in 2005 when xp was the latest.

?

?

You just can't boot from it. they're perfectly compatible with gpt for non-boot disks. You really need to get your facts straight.

macos got gpt bootability in 2005. yet apple haters shamed iphones for getting 120 hertz displays 1 year after samsung.

Go use Linux if you want to boot from BIOS and GPT

I didn't say Red Star OS

macos got gpt bootability in 2005. yet apple haters shamed iphones for getting 120 hertz displays 1 year after samsung.

And?

windows 64 bit got it in 2008 and windows 32 bit got it in 2012. macos got gpt when only their desktop towers had 64 bit cpus.

i like its macos design

Windows got it in 2005. XP64 and 2003 both support UEFI

For practical purposes you might push the date to 2006 for Vista, first common release with it.

last time i tried i only saw legacy. even on my computers with a 64 bit efi.

i thought vista got it in 2008 and 8 was the first for 32 bit

Vista was released in 2006. 32-bit Windows has always been BIOS-only. 64-bit supports BIOS and UEFI.

That's nice. So does Vista.

8 and 10 have an efi folder with bootia32.efi

where do i get a uefi supported xp 64 bit iso

eBay

christ just give up already

i want to see if it actually works

i pirate windows

im smarter than microsoft which was founded by former worlds richest person bill gates. microsoft says february 29 1900 is real. i guess you could say im smarter than who was once the richest person in the world.

guess who made the first 64 bit smartphone. apple.

at this point this person does low effort trolling or just has a low IQ

everyone was saying all computers were gonna crash at the beginning of the new millenium. except 2001 was the actual beginning of the new millenium, century, and decade
