only thing I really miss is a quick change from Vista to XP instead of having to reboot my machine and then go for XP ow well.

ive run RC clients before I started this thread remember

DocDutch · 22-11-2006, 21:15

true true true all mighty guru

:P

so guess you got a MSDN as well then or grab it from a mate?

zinglebarb · 22-11-2006, 21:16

I have various sources some actually legit

TBH ive had a catologue of problems on this machine. 2 hard drives dying one a raptor running an os. Then XP64 runs like a pile of poop, When I was running RC clients the sound drivers for hi def were crap in 64 bit so I just settled with running plain old sp2. Now its RTM and will soon be pumped out in new machines drivers will soon improve all my hopes are with Vista 64 but I dont hold out much

DocDutch · 22-11-2006, 21:22

Zing you should know by now that XP64 is basically Win ME mark 2.
am only using Vista Home Premium 32bits dont have a 64bits proccy

sofar I think the driver support hasnt let me down really, everything I connected to it gets recognised. okay bluetooth is a "sore" point with windows but thats always been the case.

xp64 was when running on my x2 3800 msi machine was the best operating system I had the pleasure of using

Well I think thats it : AMD have been in 64bit for way longer than Intel

Seems like segmented themselves with Itanium then made up by doing 64bit for the desktop just because AMD did it first.

I could have my facts messes up here so correct me if I'm wrong

zinglebarb · 22-11-2006, 21:48

you dont your right.Ive run xp 64 since day 1 have a look at the xp64 compat thread
