I have an AMD Athlon 64bit CPU and am running Windows XP Professional x64 on my laptop. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=1115710 I know that the 64Bit edition of WinXPPro is derived from the same codebase as Windows 2003 Server 64Bit, but I just thought I'd point out that they're being reported as the same OS as you can see in the link above... :) |

I have an AMD Athlon 64bit CPU and am running Windows XP Professional x64 on my laptop. What does Windows show? Right click "My Computer", click "Properties". The Windows version is after "System:" and the CPU info is after "Computer:". Should be the same as what BOINC picks up. Walt |

Erm... last time I looked, 2k3 meant 2000 + 3 or 2003, which is just what the Version is. IMO BOINC's reporting the correct platform. |

I am running Windows XP Professional 64bit - not Windows 2003 Server. Yes its partially the same codebase, but I am running XP Pro - not Windows Server. |

It says that you are running Version 2003 from Windows XP Pro 64 |
