64bit windows

hi everyone - a few have notest that i have been looking for a athon64 motherboard and cpu, the one i have make my mind up on is the MSI neo.

tests here http://www6.tomshardware.com/mother...ket_754-38.html

or http://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=71166

but what i want to know now if i get a copy of the new 64bit windows from microsoft will it run games, apps, software and still beable to add new components like printers, camara`s etc

i know the software only lasts 360 days has anyone tryed it ?

do you think its worth trying the software?

I didn't have good experiences with it but give it a shot. I couldn't get any games or 3dvideo to run.

just making an educated guess, win64 may have an option to run in compatibilty mode like xp does, maybe it will work, give it a shot I guess.

o.k. will give it a go on a spare 40gig maxtor i have.
its i have heard that in longthorn or whatever they called it there alot not installed in the program e.g. you cant network because that part not in + others.

do you think it will come out on top with benchmarkd compared to xp.

what about drivers etc most still come with xp drivers, willl they work?

anyway cheers i will give it a shot and let you know, there seems to be a bit more suport about now
