anyone got the Windows XP 64bit edition ? I got the AMD 64-bit 3400+ Athlon, but don’t know about getting the OS. I know there is a trial thing on the microsoft website, that is downloading right now, anyone try it? ---

The biggest problem you’ll face is drivers, most drivers are still 32bit and it’s not reverse compatible for most of them, I say try it out, never hurts and you just might like it. ---

Here is Microsoft’s information on it, it includes a download link. Requires you to give information like address etc. [http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/evaluation/upgrade.mspx](http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/evaluation/upgrade.mspx) ---

I know there is a trial thing on the microsoft website, that is downloading right now, anyone try it? I can tell you where to d/l it so you dont have to wait for it to come to you… goto [www.winbeta.org](http://www.winbeta.org) and follow their directions about going onto mirc to the server [irc.winbeta.org](http://irc.winbeta.org) and then goto room win-beta ads that will do it.
