Any1 tried it yet? I have a corporate edition courtesy of work, (yes it's legal) but not installed it as yet. In CShopper the review summary was basically there is no difference to the eye over XP32bit SP2. Is it worth installing yet, as there isnt really any apps out there to take advantage of the 64bit architecture. I have a partition I can install it to, so Im going to test it, but was just wondering if theres any point.

i will be getting the corporate edition courtesy of work too next week in my updated action pack ;-). so i will try it and get back to you asap !. i know there is only a hand full of apps or programs what will work better but i can not wait till the 64bit v of the top game farcry comes out !!! that is going to be a 64bit game at its best haha

Good point! I hear battlefield 2 will only be an XP64 game as well. That will make sure aload of punters upgrade for sure It needs a minimum of 2gb of ram to run though apparently

There's only 32 bit apps to run on Windows 64bit

Until applications come out that are designed to utilise 64bit you won't see much difference

Apps are less of problem at the moment, than the DRIVERS.... there isn't huge support right now, and you could well have problems getting the best out of your hardware.

Saying that tho.. it's only really the frame rate chasers that are going to notice - I'm certainly tempted to have a go

I've got all the drivers ready to go Gigabyte's support for XP64 seems to be quite good. I'm using quite an old mobo now to, a K8NPro.
