have they relaesed an operating system for the 64bit yet, last i heard the one they have released at mo is crap and it doesnt have a lot of drivers.

I have a amd64 whatever chip and as i using windows xp we are only using half of the processor power so the other half is wasted.

Its still the case that most applications are not yet fully supported for 64bit just yet and also in my opinion IF you know what your about then i would recommend any linux 64bit platform over a microsoft one any day. its a lot faster and cuts a lot of the bullshit out that gets packaged with a windows install.

Either way freaky, I personally wouldnt fully commit myself to the 64bit os just yet any way. theres a new one from microshaft on its way maybe that one will do the job a lot better!!

I installed the windows 64 bit operationg system about 8 months ago and I did have driver issues. but I decided after all this time to try again and windows update for my version was very big and I only had one problem with a driver and that was quickly sorted by looking on the net. Nvidia have 64 bit drivers and a lot of programs are having 64 bit version now, infact windows 64 bit can still run 32 bit programs! Very Happy

I think that now Steam has set the pace as they realise 64 bit gaming is the way to go many other online gaming companies will follow Wink

I am using a AMD athlon 3400+ 64 ........in a way I did buy mine for £12 because I didnt want to download the free version,but basically you can download a trial version which lasts a whopping 6 months!!! from the link below which you would burn to disk but I decided to order mine which was like I say £12 at the time but it took ages to turn up Crying or Very sad

I thought it got lost Crying or Very sad

isnt that typical of microsft you cannot d/l the free trial you have to pay for it to be shipped $20, what a rip off.

No you can download it Wink

its just I decided to have it shipped which was a bad idea really but you can download the 6 months trial totally for free Wink

tried 4 times to d/l it keeps comin up with a cdkey error message not being able to be retrieved for the d/l, so they must be having trouble with the d/l server.

I ended up paying the money anyway...loll
