![]() There's only the Professional family, there never was a 64-bit XP Home. Like Michael Stum pointed out, 64-bit XP is a nightmare to maintain due to very poor driver support. ![]() ![]() You need a 64-bit operating system for more than that.Įdit: You updated the question to mention 64-bit. However, you cannot use 8 GB of RAM with a 32-bit operating system (except on Windows Server 2003 through the cumbersome PAE mechanism, through which any one app can use up to 4 GB of RAM if it supports the special AWE API.) Actually, you will only be able to use about 3.5 GB. You might be able to find Windows XP Home (OEM version, which you cannot legally install on a pre-existing computer) if one of the shops in your area still carries it, but that's a pot shot. You can run XP Professional by buying Vista Business or Vista Ultimate and exercising your downgrade rights (you have to find an original XP installation medium then call Microsoft to obtain a product key.)
