I am looking at a 64-bit computer and wanted to make sure Rbase 7.6
would run on it, also what if I network it to some 32-bit XP computers.
Tom,
64-bit computer with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition or Vista 64-bit?
Technically, 32-bit applications, like R:BASE 7.6 for Windows, running
in the WOW64 subsystem provide a highly-compatible, high-performance
environment for R:BASE. 32-bit applications are installed into the
Program Files (x86) directory structure, and have separate hives in the
registry to prevent problems. WOW stands for Windows on Windows.
Applications running in the WOW64 system on Windows XP Professional x64
Edition each have a full 4 GB of virtual memory space. Applications
compiled to take advantage of the /3 GB switch will actually get 4 GB,
without constraining the operating system at all, since it is running
in the 8 terabytes of virtual address space that Windows XP Professional
x64 Edition has for the system processes.
Also, when moving to Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, you need to
understand some key differences. The most important is that there is
no support for legacy MS-DOS and 16-bit applications. If you have an
older application that runs in MS-DOS mode or is a 16-bit application,
you shouldn't move to Windows XP Professional x64 Edition until you
can either update or replace the application.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
