Latest Service Pack

[Lord-Beldingfield]

Hi,

I’m building myself a computer, with an AMD 64 processor. I have a windows XP x64 bit ISO. Id like to know what the latest service pack for x64 is so that I can integrate it, if someone could post a download link that would be very helpful. Is the Integration method the same as that for 32 bit? Also Can someone tell me if I can use my x86 (32 bit) XP pro key code on XP x64 (64 bit).

Thanks

Matt

The latest service pack is SP1, double check and make sure it isn't already installed. I can't seem to find the download for it on microsofts website.

With the license you cannot transfer it, for a while they had a thing going where you could pay some more money and they'de let you trade it. But that ended a while ago. So, you're stuck with either the 32bit version or buying the 64bit version.

Windows XP x64 and Windows Server 2003 x64 are actually both the same kernel, built from Windows Server 2003 SP1. Therefore, no new SP.

Hello,

I thought as much, but I raised the question about the latest x64 SP because I saw dabs selling Windows XP x64 SP2B. Here is the link:http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=44S0&SearchType=1&SearchTerms=windows+xp&PageMode=3&SearchKey=All&SearchMode=All&NavigationKey=50310

Weird.

Thanks,

Matt

There is a SP2 beta, but it's for w2k3 x86...

hey,

They cant sell BETA software though. XP x64 SP2B OEM is for sale everywhere! The cheapest ive seen is £90

This is very confusing.

Thanks,

Matt

My best guess for SP2B is that it includes a whole bunch of the patches that have been released since then. Especially since SP3 has been pushed back to 2008.

Hey,

Does anyone know where i can download Windows XP Professional x64 Service Pack 1? I cant find a download link anywhere. I want to integrate it into XP disc.

Thanks

the SP1 is integrated in Winxp64, because it uses the same code as Windows server 3003 SP1
