Clarification Request
Sorry

But having to page down so much I barely can keep track of what the question was due to so much non-essential info.

With 3.0GB RAM there's almost no reason to try XP 64.

you know why they do that?
Oct 13, 2013 2:29AM PDT

because other sites ask their forum members to download and run Belarc and post the results. I don't know it really helped that much on such forums, but it sure did give a lot of free product keys to the world, lol. Later Belarc corrected that "glitch". In spite of that, the overkill of info continues in places. Some might think it's better than fishing each little fact from them separately till enough help find a solution. Sometimes it's like twenty questions.

"hi, i have a computer, something is wrong with it"

yes, is this a laptop or desktop?

"it's a desktop"

does it have a manufacturer name and model number?

"where can I find that"?

what does it say on the front of it

"Dell"

Is there anything more on the front?

"No"

Is there any tag or label on the back telling the model number

"yes"

can you post it?

"Dimension"

dimension what?

"can you help me or not?!"

what seems to be the problem?

"oh, wait, it quit, thanks anyway"

Goodbye, glad I helped

I've moved mostly to Mint Linux 14
Oct 13, 2013 3:18AM PDT

Just in time too it seems, my XP hard drive has started to have widespread "bad sectors", checked both with CHKDSK and Easis drive checking software. Plenty of "block errors" in event logs. Got what I want backed up and waiting for RMA number. Trying to decide if I want to finally run my copy of W7 on it and use as backup to my Linux, or just put Kubuntu on it (fuller featured than Mint) and leave Windows altogether. For 10 years I've come to hate everytime I knew all was corrected and then be tripped up having to get out of an Activation Loop due to XPSP3 and all the updates moving away from the capability of that program to work correctly. If only the same programs were always available for both systems, I suspect Linux would begin to boom in membership of usage.

I keep asking myself
Oct 13, 2013 3:51AM PDT

why I keep Win 7 on the desktop because I never use it. I booted into it yesterday and installed 3 months of updates lol . I think I keep it just because I have it. Truth be told, I find Linux so easy to use now and so customizable ( just go into the repository and grab what ya want) it's almost insane to keep Windows around . I feel kind of lost sometimes because I never have to scan for malware or viruses and everything just flows. I'm getting board now that I've retired and thinking about building a computer (You guys watch out cause' when I mess up it's gonna be blamed on you for letting your newbie do stupid stuff Devil ) but I won't be buying Windows to install as an OS....

The Linux Rhapsody

" I feel kind of lost sometimes because I never have to scan for malware or viruses and everything just flows."

Reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody, with my interpretation.


Is Linux real life? Is it just fantasy?
Caught in it's software, No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no microsoft
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low
Any way the windows doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a disk, Put a format 'gainst it's head
Pressed the key, and now it's dead
Mama, windows 8 had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry
If it's not back again this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if it doesn't really matter

Too late, windows time has gone
Sent shivers down our spine, body's aching all the time
Hello, ev'rybody, We've got to change
Gotta leave it all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don't want to lie
I sometimes wish I'd never run windows at all

It's a shame they are working so hard here. The basics of installing Windows hasn't changed in over a decade. Long ago (over a decade) I had a plan. It was, OS, motherboard drivers then other drivers. Later we had to add more steps if there was HD audio and later more when there was a SATA drive but overall the plan is still pretty simple. Then again, folk don't install windows often enough to learn that Microsoft and the industry never got their act together.

I just wish
Oct 13, 2013 3:33AM PDT

Microsoft would quit trying to erect roadblocks in the way of alternatives and then pretend it's something improved or necessary. In fact their product is hampered by their protection policies, for instance consider the ease of using Linux from a flash drive or protected "read only" DVD disc for booting and repairing it and other systems. Instead you get a Microsoft installation or upgrade disc and it's entirely focused on trying to fix the hard drive install, won't also provide a lesser restricted version of it for browser access of internet in the interim till you can take time to fix the installed system. I'm not a Microsoft hater like some, just disappointed in them at times.

Microsoft is a company
Oct 13, 2013 11:56PM PDT

Microsoft is a company still living in the world of the 1980s and pre-Internet 90s where the desktop was the crucial area you needed to control to be successful. It's also how Microsoft made money hand over fist for many years. Of course like any small company that hits it big, eventually the focus changes from displacing the incumbent to protecting your own position in the market. You stop taking chances and start sticking more and more with the tried and true. You read some stories about former Microsoft insiders and you see how someone pitched the idea of a Kindle-like e-reader to Gates and Ballmer YEARS before Amazon came up with the Kindle, but Gates shot it down because it wouldn't run Windows. Believe it or not, Microsoft was one of the first players besides RIM in the Smartphone arena, but again they tried to shoehorn the Windows interface onto a small screen device with very limited resources and it didn't work. By the time MS got serious and came out with the current incarnation of Windows Phone, Apple and Google had long since passed them by. Windows 8 is really little more than an attempt by Microsoft to try and create a single unifying interface across the desktop and mobile devices. That's why they rammed Metro down everyone's throats, they're hoping that it'll have the same halo effect Apple got with the iPod and Mac OS X.

You actually see the same thing happening with Apple now. When Jobs came back to Apple, it was literally weeks to months away from running out of money and shutting down. So they had little to lose by taking a chance tossing out the tried and true Mac OS for Mac OS X and then hitting it big with the iPod turning Apple into more of a mobile device company than a computer company. But if you look around, you see plenty of signs of stagnation with Apple. Aside from being faster and a better display, the iPhone and iPad are basically the same product. The iPhone was really just a combination of the iPod with a cell phone, so nothing terribly new there and it also means that the iTouch iPod is really just an iPhone without the phone part. iOS has remained pretty much fundamentally the same in how it operates since the very first version and Apple also has the "Launch Pad" or something like that in Mac OS X which presents a very iOS-like feel. Apple just didn't force it on people by default like Microsoft did. The biggest change to the iPhone since its inception has been the larger screen. Mac OS X is becoming more and more like iOS with every release and the development on their computer models is very clearly slowing down. But Apple is basically left trying to play it safe to protect it's little empire, meanwhile Samsung and other Android device makers are pumping out dozens of handsets a year, trying all kinds of new things. So, I give Apple maybe another decade, tops, and Tim Cook will probably be looked at as Apple's Steve Ballmer, reigning over Apple's "lost decade".

What about the aging population?
Oct 16, 2013 8:36AM PDT

I've had to deal with a few people with Alzheimers developing before and just older people in general may have a hard time transitioning from what they've known in the past to something new. Just move on without them? I remember a neighbor I taught in her 70's to use a computer on the internet, but as she aged, she couldn't remember how to do it, simple things like "what are websites" and she used to travel the world on that computer, but things that were somewhat complicated she'd learned years before she had little to no problem. She could still work a TV remote, even to the day she died, which was a bit surprising since she'd not had a TV until the 50's, before that it was all radio. What she'd learned in the last few years of her life to do however just faded away first it seems.

For those now between 50-65, it would be nice to keep simple operating systems very similar to what they've been used to for years, even if others have moved on to systems that look and act entirely different. Of course newer items may actually become easier and more intuitive than those of the past.

Actually
Oct 16, 2013 10:49AM PDT

Actually, research into party topics like neuro-plasticity generally show that routines are very bad for the mind. Learning new things forces the brain to create new neural connections and that in turn helps stave off things like senility and other degenerative brain diseases. The people who are still not only lucid, but rather mentally nimble for their age are the people who regularly used their brains by learning new things. The people who just stick with what they know are the ones who are most likely to become the drooling shells stereotypically associated with nursing homes.

Alzheimer's is associated with a plaque developing on the receptors in the brain that makes it harder or impossible for the electro-chemical impulses to jump the gap. Which parts of the brain are then effectively cut off is random so far as the research I'm up on has determined. Simply having something familiar to the person is no real guarantee of any kind of recognition.

But to bring this back more into line with a tech forum, anyone who has done software development or just been associated/around large scale development projects for a couple iterations will tell you that no matter how carefully you plan, if the program is around long enough, it will end up going in directions you never could have anticipated when you started. Take Microsoft's most famous blunder of underestimating the impact of the Internet. When Microsoft got started, stand-alone PCs were the new big thing. Windows was designed with the idea of the stand-alone PC which is an island unto itself, so the idea was to let the user have complete freedom to do whatever they wanted. After all, the impact would be limited to that one system. If a person was connected to a network, it was almost certainly a corporate network which was isolated to that company so you didn't really have to worry about external intrusions. Fast forward a couple decades and suddenly everyone is connecting to this massive global network we call the Internet. Now suddenly you face the prospect where security becomes a real concern. Probably a lot of people's first taste of this was the infamous teardrop attack on Win95, then there were the various incarnations of the Melissa email worm and the attacks exploiting the messenger service... Some random person, anywhere in the world, could suddenly impact your personal computer. No one could have anticipated that when Gates and company were first developing Windows.

With the rise of the Internet came a rise in the popularity of sharing photos and videos online. XP and earlier versions of Windows are just not very good at dealing with multimedia content like Vista and later are. Vista includes much improved support for things like hardware based decoding of video files that simply isn't possible with XP short of the major overhaul of the GUI code that is the Aero UI in Vista. A lot of GPGPU type things simply are not viable under XP like they are Vista or later because the necessary OS underpinnings aren't there.

The general computer using market has made some major shifts during the time Windows has been around, none of which could have possibly been conceived of back when Windows was first being developed. That leaves the developer with basically two choices, neither of which are good ones. You can either try and massage, twist and contort the current codebase into doing what you want, a task that will get harder and harder as time goes by and introduces a number of unforeseen consequences as new and old code collides. The other possibility is to throw everything out and start over from scratch. A very time consuming and expensive proposition, though it is the better long-term solution as you can take all the collective wisdom from past experience and apply that to the new codebase. Making sure not to make the same mistakes. However, rewriting something like Windows would probably take at least 3-5 years and unless you want to introduce all the unwanted baggage of the legacy system, you are going to end up with virtually all programs needing to be rewritten for this rewritten version of Windows. Even if you tried to do something like split the difference, it's difficult to wean people off of something like the Win32 API. Just ask IBM how difficult it was to get people to write native OS/2 Warp programs when they could just use the Win16 API and it would work on both Windows and OS/2 Warp. At some point you have to hold firm and cut people off, but there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth when you do. Ask anyone who was around when Apple moved from the m68K CPU architecture to PowerPC and just kicked developers in the teeth with absolutely no migration path. They were only marginally more gentle about it when they moved to Mac OS X.

The reality of the situation is much more complex unfortunately, and I I've only covered the technical concerns, I only ever so briefly touched on the business concerns of a for-profit company like Microsoft. Those concerns will make an already complex situation and make it many orders of magnitude more complex. The long story short, however, is that what you propose would be a huge financial liability to Microsoft on multiple fronts.

Answer
I'll go with no
Sep 29, 2013 11:27PM PDT

I'll go with no. Support for the 64-bit Windows XP ended with SP2, so it'd be even more dangerous to connect to the Internet than XP. Plus driver support was always poor at best for that version of Windows, being is how it was never intended for widespread use. You might have picked up on not so subtle clues like there only being OEM versions of it, which you pretty much have to buy on eBay.

Dell never officially supported XP on that model AFAIK, let alone the x64 version, so you'd be completely on your own trying to find drivers. My guess is trying to find SATA motherboard drivers is where you'd fail, meaning you'd never even get Windows installed.

It should if chipset drivers
Oct 12, 2013 4:51PM PDT

exist for XP on that motherboard. If the exist the manufacturer should have them on their site. Sometimes there are driver files for the motherboard's controller chipset at the site of whomever manufactures that chipset (intel, AMD, VIA, SIS). Since you list XP 32 bit as capable, there probably are driver files permitting XP 64 bit system to run on it too.

I wouldn't bet on it
Oct 12, 2013 11:57PM PDT

I wouldn't bet on it. It wasn't always just as simple as recompiling the drivers for 64-bit, plus XP x64 was never intended for widespread distribution. It was put out as a way to keep some of the larger corporate customers happy while work continued on the much delayed Vista which would bring official x86-64 support for everyone. As I stated before, you might have noticed that it was only ever distributed as an OEM release, there was never an official retail release and that Microsoft never spent any amount of time, effort or money promoting the fact that there was a 64-bit version of XP.

The vast majority of people are better off never knowing XP x64 existed. Getting people off of XP period is a very worthwhile goal because it is a very old and rickety platform. It was released over a decade ago and was in development for a couple of years before that. The plan for what XP would become was laid out at Microsoft sometime back around 1998 if not earlier. No one had even really thought of the idea of multi-core CPUs so XP treats them like discreet CPUs that causes processing inefficiencies, the XP GUI is a 2D CPU rendered mess called GDI+ unlike the much more modern 3D DirectX based GPU rendered Aero UI that came with Vista... The only reason people claim to love XP so much is because Vista was vastly oversold and underdelievered in almost equal measure while being significantly delayed giving XP time to become ever more entrenched. There were a lot of impressive improvements in Vista, but since they were all under the hood, not smacking the user in the face, they don't get the recognition they deserve. Vista laid all the important groundwork for taking Windows forward. So moving people off of XP as quickly as possible has been a great idea ever since Vista finally rolled out.
