Yes. I done it on XP64 for 32 and 64 bit. You see it in the Task Manager. A problem can be that for 64 bit all used libraries also have to be in 64 bit Version. If you have trouble the good old "Dependency Viewer" will help you.:rolleyes: I am very keen to get my 64 bit Machine with a new graphic card so I can do "Aero" on Vista.:cool: Greetings from Germany

You don't need to install the x64 OS to build applications for x64, you can even do this from a 32-bit machine. Of course you can't test your code on the 32-bit machine, and can only debug using the remote debugger. All you need to do is to go to Build, Configuration Manager, then select <New...> from the Active Solution Platform drop-down, select x64 from the 'Type or select the new platform' drop-down, then click OK. This gives every project in the solution an x64 platform option. To build for 32-bit, select Win32; to build for x64, select x64. Straightforward. You may find the Build, Batch Build option helpful for making sure that the 32-bit and x64 builds are consistent. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I don't know if everybody's taking this for granted, but AFAIK the 64-bit compiler is not installed if you just do a default install of VS2005. I had to do a custom install and add a checkbox in the VC++ section. I was wondering why I couldn't find the x64 options (where they were supposed to be) when I was looking for them, until I reinstalled VS on top of itself and went for a custom install...
