Microsoft offers Windows XP Pro 64 bit version as free download.
I recently upgraded my motherboard to Asus K8N-E
and an AMD Athlon 64 3000 processor. Microsoft is offering their XP-PRO 64 bit version as a free Preview download. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/6...n/upgrade.mspx I created my Install CD this morning. However, I am still trying to install it. |

I have installed Windows XP 64 and it is *poor*!
I've encountered the following problems with it: * Refuses to do the network setup wizard * Refuses to to the Windows Update site (launches a 32-bit browser which then bombs with error message) * Refuses to do the SDK Update site (hangs for ever) * Refuses to even install any Platform SDK other than .NET one, as the Core PSDK is only for Intel IA-64s (the setup.exe immediately shells the setup64.exe which then claims wrong architecture) * Spurious 'blank' icon in Control Panel I'm now only using it for the purposes of downloading linux.

It is a BETA you know. Besides the aspects you mentioned it also does not
load joystick drivers. I wanted to test Flight Sim 2004 on it but without the joystick it's not much fun. I recently upgraded to the ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe with a 3500+ and found what they have so far very nice and stable. DougH "Bonj" wrote in message ... I have installed Windows XP 64 and it is *poor*!

Windows XP 64 is very stable on my machine I meant to say. Just wish it had
those joystick drivers otherwise I wouldn't have replaced it with regular windows xp. DougH "DougH" wrote in message ... It is a BETA you know.
