Qcharts and Win XP64

[grunewaj]

Does anybody have experience with Qcharts and WinXP 64?

I'm thinking about upgrading to XP 64 and I'd like to hear if anybody has had any problems.

Thanks!

Jim

Hi Jim,
I've used XP 64bit Edition for the Rockets I've built. It works fine. You'll need a 64bit AntiVirus (I've used Avast!) and you'll need a 64bit printer driver (there are some ways around this - maybe) - but it's best if the printer that you want to use actually has a 64bit driver.

On my 64bit "Rockets" - they've always been primarily a QCharts trading computer and everything else was secondary. I know a lot of "normal" software (MS Office, Photoshop, etc) runs fine on it - but I don't know about specialized or "not normal" software - if there are any compatibility issues. If you have suspect software, check with the mfr. to see if it is 64bit OK.

I built on the 64bit platform because it is faster. 64bit Internet Explorer rocks - but there are some issues with QuickTime and Flash.

Hope that helps.
-Bill
