MS Vista compatible with Intel Xeon CPUs

[Chess Gator]

Hi, will MS Vista operating system work with Intel Xeon CPUs??

I cannot find an article on the Internet that answers the question, does anyone know where I can find the answer?

Thank you

yes, MS vista will work on Xeon because the Xeon is an x86/x64 CPU.

Dual 5460's recognized along with 64GB RAM with no issues. (other than programs running out of memory)

I heard that Vista can only use 4 gigs of RAM....

I'm sensing some snark here...

Assuming this is serious, no. Vista x32 will not allow more than 4GB of address space, but Vista x64 will allow you to use a large amount of memory. I think it's version limited, but IIRC the x64 versions allow 8GB (Home Basic), 16GB (Home Premium), or max physical (Business/Enterprise/Ultimate). There should be a limit on max physical, theoretically, but it'd be pretty darn high.

I think the physical limit is 128 GB as of now.

What are you running on that machine? The Matrix or Skynet?
