Xp 64 for amd, anyone tried it yet?

If you have a question, then spit it out! Or don't you have the
intestinal fortitude to be up front?

Nope, it's just sitting there on Microsoft's server to utilize some server
space they didn't want to leave empty wink

64-bit XP beta changed my partition table geometry, so it could not reboot
itself or XP Home. But once I repaired the partition table using Linux
fdisk on a rescue CD (no data loss), 64-bit XP and XP Home worked fine. 2D
video worked, but I had to download a 64-bit nVidia driver for 3D. And no
sound driver, so I download 64-bit AC'97 sound driver from realtek.com.tw.
Still no winmodem driver, but I have adsl anyway.

I tried the previous one to the current win64,
it didnt support my 3com network, so deleted it.
nor a MS network card !!!
does the 'w2k3sp1_1218_usa_x64fre_pro' support networks now?

I can't speak for your drivers in particular, but the 1218 build is much
more of a complete release. It is still lacking in driver support, but a lot
was added to it.

that sounds more promising,
time to install and try on a clean HD methinks.
