  1. Really? They've been trying to phase out usage of 16-bit code since Windows 95 - 10 years ago. And even with this push, it'll still be the successor to Windows Vista that will be entirely 64bit (Vista will still come with a 32bit version, that will run 16bit apps to the best of my knowledge). yes, vista runs 16-bit code. i'm using windows vista right now, actually. full support for command line and 16-bit applications.
  2. that's what I figured the case would be. bah. oh well, i can always dual-boot or just run xp32 in a VM
  3. lol who the hell would use 1TB of RAM? might be useful when you have 5 million applications loaded at the same time..... although in reality nobody will have 1TB, at least in the next 20 years or so, thats a stupid way for microsoft to code
  4. i hear that 16-bit support is completely gone in windows xp 64-bit. is that true? you probably are wondering why i would even want 16-bit support in windows 64.... well, sometimes i like to program utilities and other stuff in QuickBasic 4.5 don't laugh too hard, QB can still be useful(albiet slow as $%^#$^) i guess i might end up having to install xp 32-bit as a guest OS inside VMware on windows 64 to do that stuff. would it be possible to import xp32's NTVDM subset into xp64?? anybody tried this?
  5. I don't believe it would, but I have one of those exact chips on the way from tigerdirect as I type this, I'll let you know becuase I am definately going to try that. I tried running windows 64-bit as a guest OS with VMware 5.5 on my current Athlon XP 2400+ then i had a rude awakening when I found out that VMware will not emulate the 64-bit chipset to run it on a 32-bit CPU i felt pretty dumb. can you imagine how freakin slow that would be anyway? lol
