Guest Hurricane Andrew Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 What are the issues that I should anticipate in such a setup? Specifically, I'd like to tread slowly in the move to 64-bit. I have a simple home network setup: 1 Longhorn 32-bit standard server 1 dual boot Vista/XP client 32-bit (main PC, Vista default OS) 1 dual boot XP/Vista client 32-bit (kids PC, XP default OS) All are on a single domain. Both clients are capable of 64-bit. The server is as well, but I'd like to hammer out any 64-bit issues, quirks, etc. on a client before messing with the server, plus most of my kids' games and such aren't ready for the 64-bit plunge, so their PC will be stuck on 32-bit XP Pro for the foreseeable future. My main question is how 32-bit Longhorn will fare with essentially one 32-bit client and one 64-bit client. If I were going with a 64-bit server, I wouldn't be nearly as hesitent. Thoughts? Any experiences to share (good or bad)? Thanks in advance! -- "Hurricane" Andrew Milford, DE
