Windows 64 bit OS PHP , MYSQL applications

Post by dude81 »

Hello all,

I thought of having a lightning performance system. Not sure If I've become over greedy on it and ordered a wrong laptop.
These are the main system configurations
1. Windows 64 Bit Vista Home Premium
2. 6 GB RAM
3. Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40GHz/ 1066 FSB/ 3MB Cache)

Now my main concern is will I be able to run PHP, MySQL or Xampp and eclipse like software to do my development. Please give me suggestions, so that If needed I can change my Operating system quickly :( :(

I've read about people installing PHP on 64 bit Vista. It might not be particularly easy...but it's possible.

Apparently ;)


Google for a tutorial or something. It shouldn't be too different than normal...
