I ended up loading both WinXP and WinXPx64 from scratch and running some benchmarks on them. The graphic and disk scores were similar with the 64bit version just eeking out about 5% better, but the cpu scores were 400% better on the 64bit results. I used passmark.com's benchmarking program, but there are 64 bit and 32 bit versions so I'm not sure if that would be the disparity. I'll probably keep the 64bit system for now. My original winxp vm is a bit long in the tooth and running very slowly.

So I opened my door to my enemy and I asked, could we wipe the slate clean, but they tell me to please go fuck myself, sometimes you just can't win ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
