AquaMark3 isn't compatible with the 64-bit version of XP, and it won't run in Compatibility Mode either. You could periodically check the AquaMark forums here...

...for any news on an upcoming 64-bit compatible release.

Is xp64 worth all the trouble right now? Does it feel a lot faster than xp?

i can bet u it isnt...barely any 64-bit drivers are out for 64-bit Windows yet, and because of that, performance on some levels will be very poor, that or the hardware just wont work properly...

hyperasus: No faster that I can feel or measure. It's smoother when multi-tasking with an Athlon 64 but that's about it. I like it and use x64 everyday. But whatever you do don't do the trade up thing: get the trial instead. Don't give up your XP license (which is what you do during the trade up) until you're sure everything you have or use works under x64.

I think its actually a tad slower. It seems like i get more little 1 secound lock up glitches. Probably from non optimized drivers.

Also I lost my EQ settings on my Audigy 2, on the other hand windows now integrates a bass/trebble knob, so I guess im allrgiht, but having the Audigy EQ was nice. Also I lost my scanner. BUt its a small price to pay.

Well, I can't pay that price for gaming reasons atm. Call of duty works fine but the united offensive expansion will not even install. I host small lan parties every other saturday night and not being able to run games is a big problem for me. I guess I will be going back to xp pro non-64 till all the little things get worked out.
