Per Wikipedia, "Windows XP 64-Bit Edition" was for Intel's Itanium
IA-64 architecture; whereas "Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" was
for AMD's x86-64 architecture.

You've just got to love it when two wildly distinct, yet highly
similar, things are named almost, but not quite, the same.

Pinball had
problems relating to 64-bit FPU precision (and this can
actually be reproduced by fiddling with FPU flags), but it did ship in
Windows XP x64 Professional.
My understanding is that Windows XP x64 Professional is 64-bit x86 and not
Itanium.
