First of all, no matter how much memory you put into your system, it ain't enough. And this is true for all or at least most of the operating systems. Earlier this week Mark Russinovich wrote a blog post about "Pushing the Limits of Windows: Physical Memory." Needless to say, it is another...

Back on May 1st, 2004 I posted about 32-bit apps on 64-bit Windows and added some links to the post. Today, Thursday, July 24, 2008 12:02 PM, Jim left the comment "It would be nice if the links to the references were valid." Well, I would not expect many of the links to work anymore but...

There are many firewall choices for Windows x64 users, so I've decided to take a look at some of the most popular products that are compatible with Windows Vista x64. The first firewall I will look at is the one included in AVG Internet Security 8. AVG Internet Security 8 64-bit is approximately...

Intel recently (re-) published a somewhat old document from the 2004's, " The 64-bit Tipping Point ". It has been slightly updated and is definitely worth reading if you are still considering to move to a 64-bit application model. The document compares the Itanium architecture to EM64T...

My MBA has a 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and a 64GB solid state drive and I bought a SuperDrive . Here's how I installed Vista and why I did it 3 (three...

On one of our internal HPC aliases an evangelist from Japan asked whether Visual Studio 2008 (VS) can optimize code for Barcelona. Barcelona as in the AMD processor, not the beautiful city of Gaudi in Catalonia, Spain. Important question especially for high performance applications where you want to...

I have it already you might say. But are you leveraging the 64-bit power by running a native 64-bit OS? Probably on a server but not on a workstation yet. Be it as it may. InformationWeek has a nice article titled "With Latest Server, Microsoft Rides The 64-Bit Range". There's some food...

Oh no, 64-bit again. Please, leave me alone. ... Can't do that. While the Microsoft evangelism team does not evangelize 64-bit directly anymore (there's no program or alike), we ( and I in particular ) continue to receive a lot of questions on 64-bit development. Mainly due to the fact that our...

Looks like there is some confusion about our Hyper-V product. The Microsoft Hypervisor is called Hyper-V (as announced today). It will only be available for 64-bit SKUs of Windows Server 2008. Also the Hyper-V standalone SKU is only available for 64-bit. To take advantage of the Microsoft Hyper-V technology...
