Re: Trying to install XP X64
The "AMD64" reference is simply the standard name for all 64bit operating
systems that have the x86 instruction set backwards compatibility. It
refers to AMD and Intel both. It is called "AMD64" because the first cpu in
the class was AMD so the honor of naming the whole class goes to AMD. The
"x86" class was named after the Intel 8086 cpu which was the first in the
long line of 32bit cpus, including AMD's, which were compatible with the
32bit intruction set we have all been using these many years.
See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812580. It is apparently an ACPI
issue. If ACPI can be disabled in the BIOS, do so.
