Hey!
Browsing the net the other day, i foung a FREE TRIAL of Win XP Professional 64 bit edition (Microoft software for free?! WTF? It must be the apocolips!!!!). So of course i download it. Only problem: I dont have a 64 but processor, just a crappy 1.6 ghz P4. Just wanted to share. If anyone tries it, let me know. Dont download it w/ dialup. Its a 550 mb file, and it took my computer 30 hours to do it. I dont have a link, but search google for "Win XP 64 bit demo trial" and it should come up. Supposebly, it has a few bugs, and there is no tech support, but individuals are already making patches. Just seach. The trial is 360 days.

I tried it a little bit once, and I didn't care for it much. There wasn't too much that worked for it. I can see that changing with the official release, but it's not worth it for now. And yes, I do have a 64-bit processor

Yeah, I withdrew my post because I was mis-informing people (it was a long time since I saw the 64 stuff). So rather than to sound like a complete idiot (rather than a partial) I withdrew my post. It apparently is a branch of XP that has 64bit support. However I still know that the driver and device support sucks major butt on that OS. Unless they did some major revamping in the past 12 months (or so) I would assume that hardware support is still not that great.

AMD64 3000+, socket 754 (not as good as the 939, but I still like it)
