Binary Compatibility


An important feature of the x64 Editions of Windows is the binary compatibility between the AMD64 and 64-bit Xeon and Pentium processors that support the x64 extensions. Windows uses the same binary whether the underlying processor is an AMD or an Intel processor, and applications written for x64 use a single binary as well.

Windows x64 builds on the existing 32-bit Windows APIs and supports the same coding practices as 32-bit Windows. A 32-bit application can determine whether it is running on WOW64 by calling the IsWow64Process function. A 32-bit application that is compiled with the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE switch will have access to 4 GB of virtual memory address space.
