XP 32bit or 64bit

I am looking to install XP on my MP. Was wondering what the thoughts were on installing the 32bit vs. the 64bit. I will be adding more memory shortly and would like to have all memory available if possible.
If I install the 32bit and I have SP2 is there still any slipstreaming involved? Not even sure what slipstreaming is.
If I install the 64bit, is the install the same as for the 32bit? What drivers are needed and do they need to be slipstreamed?
Can the 64bit be installed on a seperate drive from the OSX drive?
Have any recent updated from Apple changed the way the 32bit or 64bit XP would be installed?
I can't find a step-by-step instruction for the 64bit that doesn't send you to other site with their own way of installing it. I was wondering if anyone here had installed it and has clear and concise instruction on the install procedure and exactly what extra drivers are required. I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.
thanks for your help,
john

I was wondering, I just got a new Mac Book Pro from the Apple Store (with maxed configuration), and can't decide which version of XP to install, 32bit or 64bit. My main concern is my applications and games. If 100% of them will work with 64bit, then great, were done here. But if there is an iffy here, an iffy there, I'm sticking straight to 32bit.
I would stick with the 32-bit version of XP. I don't know anyone using the 64 bit version, which is a kind of odd hybrid system with not much popular support.
Does anyone know for sure if BootCamp suports XP 64-bit?
If you are interested in a 64-bit system, I would strongly suggest Vista Ultimate, which I am running on this MBP.

Does iTunes come with 32bit and 64bit install?

I have Windows 7 and it's a 32bit and 64bit Gaming Laptop G73SW.
I've done all the troubleshoot tips, which has just made my computer worse.eg all icons changed, things now missing, so probably have to do a System Retore to get it all back.
Every time i speak to Apple, they're suggestions just make my computer stuffed, iTunes takes over all my programs etc.
Simply put: Does iTunes come with a 32bit and 64bit Install??? If not i won't be using that program.
Which makes it hard for my line of work atm as an Alpha and Beta Games Tester for many Private Platforms i play on.

Well genius, it's either a 32bit or 64bit system, it cannot be both.

Install jre 32bit on 64bit system with error

Hello,
i try to install "jre-7u51-windows-i586.exe" (32bit) via CA IT Client Manager (Version 12.5) on serveral machines (64bit), OS MS Vista.
Error: .... cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
manually installation works without errors.
i need jre 32bit on 64bit!
thx in advance for your friendly suggestions!

Hello gimbal2,
i agreed with my CA-Support to ask for help here, after many trys to fix the issue.
we thought it would be a nice idea to ask oracle community - perhabs somebody know how to fix this prob.
The error was reportet by "Wow64 Emulation Layer"
this behavior we face since jre-7u45.
if that diskussion rings a bell, i would be happy to get rid of my installation prob.
thx for your sympathie

Distribution kit calling 32Bit or 64Bit executable

Hello,
my CVI app distribution calls an executable that installs a hardware driver. Unfortunately, that executable (DPInst.exe) has separate versions for 32bit and 64bit OSs.
Question:
can the distribution kit (CVI 2009) be configured to call e.g.
"DPInst32.exe" when my app gets installed on a32bBit system, and
"DPInst64.exe" on a 64bit system?
or
What would be an other solution for that kind of problem?
Thanks,
Greg

Hello Eren,
thanks for you feedback. I don't want to distribute and maintain different versions for 32bit and 64 bit OS of my CVI application, just because a small USB driver of an accessory has two versions. In the meantime, I came up with a different idea.
The distribution calls an executable that
a) checks wether it runs on a 32bit or 64bit OS
b) then calls the correct DPInst.exe version
This is quite easy:
I'm using this example code to check the OS version.
with that I call this code at the end of the installation:
void main()
char path[512];
int status;
status = GetDir (path);
   if(IsWow64()) strcat(path,"\\64bit\\");
   else strcat(path,"\\32bit\\");
status = SetDir(path);
LaunchExecutable ("DPInst.exe");
void main()
char path[512];
int status;
status = GetDir (path);
if(IsWow64()) strcat(path,"\\64bit\\");
   else strcat(path,"\\32bit\\");
status = SetDir(path);
LaunchExecutable ("DPInst.exe");
This should do the trick.
Best Regards,
Greg

Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit?

Which is better for my new mac book pro, Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit Ultimate? All I care about is all of my programs and games working properly. And what does 86x mean? Will one version of the bits work faster than the other?

Hi Konnexion,
There is another more important limit with 32-bit versions of Windows, and that is the limit of 2 GBS of RAM per process. Unless some tricks and tweaks are used (which can result in reduced stability), no matter how much physical RAM is installed, a single application can't use more than 2 GBs. This is important for applications that can use large amounts of RAM like video and picture rendering apps, and even some games these days (particularly in Vista).
On the other hand, the 64-bit version of Vista has a number of additional security enhancements over the 32-bit version, such as address-space layout randomization, mandatory driver signing. If you have the RAM (at least 4GBs) and games are not a priority, I would actually recommend using the 64-bit version. Of course, why would you be using Boot Camp, if it weren't for games LOL?

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower
Currently we have a database using Oracle 10g XE R2
(Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0)
on a linux 32bit server.
And recently we did migrate it to another 64bit linux server.
But found after migration is it running slower at 64bit server (~ 25% slower)
1. We would wonder any tuning is required on 64bit server?
Besides, as I know Oracle XE only using single core CPU for processing.
On 32bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31235 @ 3.20GHz
On 64bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2470 v2 @ 2.40GHz
2. Would the CPU clock speed on a single core also made the 64bit Oracle slower?
Thanks a lot.

32 or 64 bit normally won't cause much performance difference as long as you can't use > 4GB RAM
Please note that XE can use only 1 core and 1GB memory.
According to benchmarks, Single Thread Rating of the 2 CPU really differ by around 25%. Quite consistent with your observation.
Of course, IO (i.e., disk) speed is also an important factor.

Oracle 9i 32bit to 64bit

Dear all,
I have a question about oracle 9i change from 32bit to 64bit:
We want to change our SAP server from 32bit to 64bit (LINUX). In this case, we also want change the SAP from 32bit to 64bit (but no SAP release changed), and oracle 9i from 32bit to 64bit. Is this possible? How to do it? How much time need based on your estimate?
Because the system can not shut down more than 12 hours, we intend to use a old oracle export for new system installation and use the redolog rollforward to the lastest status. The new system is running on 64bit (oracle and SAP), but the redolog is 32bit, is it OK?
Thanks
Michael

steps are
Verify there are no invalid objects.
Verify all components in the DB are Valid
Install Oracle 64bit
Copy the Database files from the 32bit machine, to the 64bit machine.
(Datafiles, Logfiles, Controlfiles, init.ora, tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, etc..)
Run all the post scripts
When this was all done, there should be zero invalid objects.
export/import. advantage being that the old database will remain usable in case the migration fails
Good Luck

How to identify the installed Weblogic Server and JDK are 32bit or 64bit?

Hi everyone,
I have a question ~
Both Weblogic Server and JAVA JDK are installed on the server already, but I only know the Weblogic Server is 10.3.4.0 and JAVA JDK version is 1.6.0_25.
I know the 64bit Weblogic Server installation file is a wlsXXXX_generic.jar package and 64bit JAVA JDK needed also.
But, since the Weblogic installed already, there are no such installation files on the Linux Server now.
I have tried the "java -version" for java version and check the Weblogic version from Weblogic console.
How to identify the installed Weblogic Server and JDK are 32bit or 64bit with Linux command? Or is there any way to check it?

What you can try to do is use WLST (or an MBean browser, such as JConsole or JRockit Mission Control) and connect to the adminserver.
For example when using WLST:
# set the environment by using setWLSEnv.sh (located in the ${WL_HOME}/server/bin directory).
# start WLST by using: java weblogic.WLST
# connect to the adminserver
connect('adminusername','adminpassword');
# change to the serverruntime environment
serverRuntime();
# show the attributes
ls();
# Here an attribute is shown called WebLogicVersion that shows the version of WebLogic
-r-- WeblogicVersion WebLogic Server 10.3.5.0 Fri Apr 1 20:20:06 PDT 2011 1398638
# Note that this does not show if is 32 bits or 64 bits to retrieve this information you have obtain the JVM version
# change the directory
cd('JVMRuntime/AdminServer');
# show the attributes
ls();
-r-- Version R28.0.1-21-133393-1.6.0_20-20100512-2126-linux-x86_64
# when you have something like x86 at the you are running a 32 bit version, if you have something like x86_64 you are running a 64 bits versionAs mentioned above you can also retrieve this information by using a MBean browser.

Satellite A660 - How to change from 32bit too 64bit system

Howdy!
I bought a New Toshiba Satellite A660 i7-2630QM with windows 7 home premium.
My problem is Toshiba includes instructions for the first start up and it says i can choose between 32 bit operating system and 64 bit operation system, but when i turned it on the first time it did not give me any option/choice.
Now ive got 6GB memory and can only use 4GB because its set too 32 bit system is there any easy way to change it as I dont have a windows disc, all the software is preloaded?

Hi
I think this info is mentioned in user manual.
First of all you can create a Recover Disk with the Toshiba image.
You should create such disk using the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recover Disk creator (or Toshiba Recovery Creator).
Furthermore there should be a possibility to recover the notebook using the HDD recover.
During the HDD recovery, the setup should provide an option which would allow you to choose between the 32bit and 64bit.
But just one question: what A660-xxx do you have exactly?

Vista 32Bit or 64Bit?

Hi,
Has anyone got any suggestions and some advice on which version of Vista is better, 32Bit or 64Bit and why?
My T500 has 4GB memory, but this is the maximum, at the moment, not sure if this will change when the 4GB SDIMM's will be realeased.
I've currently got Vista Business edition 64Bit installed on it but I'm having issues, not sure if it's me or the software, but would like to get some input from those who have 32Bit and 64Bit version of Vista on their T500.
Thanks in advance,

I've tried XP Pro, Vista Ultimate, and Vista Business 64 on my T400. I ended up sticking with the 64 bit OS since with the switchable graphics option and the limits of a non-PAE 32 bit OS, I only had 2.5G of RAM available with 3G or 4G installed. With VB 64, I get almost 4G usable which I need for the virtual machines I run.
I have been able to get (almost) all of my apps to run, and once I got the wifi sorted (by downgrading to the 5100 card) it has been quick and stable. So far...
YMMV

How to know oracle dump is 32bit or 64bit

Hi All,

Hi,
I Want know Oracle Database Dump is 32bit or 64bit. how can i find can you help me on thiswhy don't you try by command "file <file_name>" in unix flavors environments.
If you trying to check the dump file which got generated from the database is whether 32 bit or 64 bit, then you it would be difficult to find out. Try to check the log of dump or database environment from where it got generated.

Installing PS CS5.1 32bit and 64bit

I accepted the defaults while installing photoshop and it seems 2 versions installed? Do I need both the 32bit and 64bit versions on Windows 7 64bit ? Also, when I look at installed programs it only indicates Photoshop CS5 without any 32bit or 64bit designation. What is necessary here. Are there bugs with the 64bit version like MS Office so the 32 bit version installs also?
thanks
Milton

Both 32 and 64 bit variants are provided in case you have plug-ins or drivers that only work with one. For example, older plug-ins are generally 32 bit only, and there are no 64 bit TWAIN drivers.
64 bit Photoshop will allow you access to your entire memory space, in excess of 2 GB, while 32 bit Photoshop will be limited.
Advice: Keep 'em both, use 64 bit primarily, and use the 32 bit version if/when you have to.

BW 3.5 Homogeneous System Copy 32bit to 64bit

Hi Experts,
I am trying to migrate an existing BW 3.5 system on 32bit to 64bit machine via the ABAP content DB export. OS from Win2000 32bit to Win2003 64bit. Ora DB from 9.2.0.8 to 10.2.0.2
I got the following error in the R3ldctlExport.log file
DbSl Trace: ORA-1403 when accessing table SAPUSER
DbSl Trace: OCI-call 'OCISessionBegin' failed: rc = 1017
DbSl Trace: CONNECT failed with sql error '1017'
ERROR: DbSlConnect rc= 99
DbSl Trace: ORA-1403 when accessing table SAPUSER
DbSl Trace: OCI-call 'OCISessionBegin' failed: rc = 1017
DbSl Trace: CONNECT failed with sql error '1017'
When i checked the source DB the table SAPUSER is in a tablespace called PSAPUSER1D & the owner of the table is user OPS$CB.
Is there any way to proceed or to trick the SAPinst program to read the table SAPUSER above?
I believe this problem is due to the source DB has a non SAP standard tablespace naming convention. it should be PSAP<SID>USR.
Regards,
Amal

OPS$CB is not a valid OPS$ user on sap/windows:
CB is not a valid SID (has to have 3 characters).
depending wether you are using Domain or Computer local users your valid OPS$ username would be: OPS$<domainname|computername><SID>.
see note 50088 for more information.
