AMD64 and IA64 are completely different and incompatible architectures, so
you cannot mix their binaries.

XP Pro IA64 was released at the same time as XP Pro and follows that service
schedule (so it would be XP Pro IA64 SP2 now).

XP Pro x64 (i.e. AMD64) is currently in RC2 as AMD64 support is added to
both Windows Server 2003 and XP Pro in WS03 SP1.

Sorry for the confusion. It is easier to view AMD64 as a new processor
supported by Windows with Windows Server 2003 and its Pro SKU of XP Pro x64,
and it is coming out with Windows Server 2003 SP1. IA64 was already
supported when XP was released, so it follows that service schedule.

David,
Glad to hear about XP Pro 64-bit.
I perused the MSDN Subscriber downloads, and I just want to clarify which
version
of XP Pro 64bit is which.
I know almost nothing about 64-bit procs, but I guess the Windows XP 64-bit
Edition Version
under the 64-bit Itanium-based Systems heading posted 3/26/2003 is the "IA"
version you mentioned?
And Windows XP Professional X64 Edition RC2 posted 2/8/2005 under the 64-bit
x64 Edition
Systems heading is the "AMD64" version? Also, if the second version is
considered "AMD64",
can it be loaded on Itanium systems as well?
TIA,
Berry
