I have to run 32-bit code on WinXP or Win2003. Nehalem Xeons (5500 series) should be the fastest, but I'm not sure what'll happen with the memory arrangement. I'm unsure about 2 parts: To get a maximal speed memory setup, I'll need to install at least 6gb of RAM (to give each CPU 3 sticks to work with). Is the memory interleaved in suc...
I plan to run 32-bit Windows XP on a workstation with dual processors, based on Intel's Nehalem microarchitecture, and triple channel RAM. Even though XP is limited to 4 GB of RAM, my understanding is that it will function with more than 4 GB installed, but will only expose 4 GB (or slightly less). My question is: Assuming that 6 GB of ...

I've made some simple test. I've created a thread that just allocates a big array and making access to random entries in the array. So when I run ...
