Does anyone have this MS OS?

[honhon]

Hey all, today i just happily converted to "The Dark-Side" a.k.a. AMD and when i opened my new mobo's box there was a offer right on top about WIN XP 64bit and if i registered my Mobo, MSI Neo Platinum, I would get a freetrial Beta version of WIN XP 64bit and i was just wondering if anyone has this 64bit windows and if i do get the beta version of this, is there support for this new beta version? i cant think of anything else right now but is there anything else i should know if i sign up to this that maybe you or someone you know has experienced? :-/

Find all the drivers your gonna need and put them on a CD before you install this thing.

there's a thread about that somewhere here already...

not all apps will work. You'll need compatible antivirus/firewall. Drivers is the biggest issue. You may have trouble finding drivers for some of the smaller pieces of hardware.

There is not tech support from MS but you can post in their newsgroup and get help that way.

I had it but i couldn't get my VPN software to install so i couldn't keep it. Otherwise, it worked very well. Didn't get a chance to play any games in it though.

ok, i was just wondering, ill just have to wait until the official product comes out because i dont really like beta versions, and my 3200 winchester amd is workin really really slow right now and i cant figure out wtf is going on.

have a friend running xp64 w/ his amd 64, the only issue he ran into was w/ his legacy mpeg decoder, he disabled it and he ran the default in xp64 instead it worked fine

and for the record HE LOVES IT
