Hi

According to the Beeb

This week, both Apple and Microsoft have announced updates to their operating systems which take full advantage of 64-bit processing power. Stephen Cole speaks to Microsoft's Brad Goldberg about what the new system has to offer, and gets a sneak preview of the next version of Windows called Longhorn. (more at site)

Apparently, MS Longhorn will work with a fast CPU, 512MB and a monitor able to display the system. Due to be available in 2006. So bang goes the extravagant holiday, car improvements, savings - or does it?

:rubchin:

Mo

I've seen some of the features of Longhorn from a developer and some of it looks wicked...but yeah its gonna cost a bit of

It's only going to be 80 quid or so for an upgrade of the os (assuming you don't get it free like I will) and plenty of people have fast enough machines already.

lol i dont :P

I think the windows version is available as a beta at the moment .....would really like to know how my athlon 64 3500 would go but not brave enough to try it.........wouldn't it need the 64 bit application software as well though?

Theres noooo point of upgrading to 64bit os at the moment as stuff doesnt support it properly... theres two versions of IE because you cant get flash/shockwave in 64bit flava. and 64bit drivers are still few and far between.

if you have a a64 and a legit version of xp pro, you can upgrade to xp64 for free anyway
