    Just wanting to know if anyone is running this and what they think of it? Did you find it easy trying to find 64bit alternate programs to what you used to use? Any problems getting hardware to work, drivers and such? Did you see much of an improvement in gaming or video/photo editing? Oh and could you state whether you are running a amd or intel cpu thanks

    If you get 64-bit drivers a 64-bit OS is NOT neccesary

    i dont think you can install 64bit drivers on a 32bit operating system...

    ive installed Win Xp 64bit and so far i havent found any differences other than there are 2 Program Files one for 32bit apps and one for 64bit apps, still yet to install any games yet thou hopefully will notice a difference then :-D

    Package PC's :| It all comes down the the processor being able to support 64bit applications. Don't try & install 64bit applications unless you have a 64bit processor. AMD were the first to do one (I have a 64 Mobile Athlon :D ) & then Intel announced there 64bit processor on pretty much the same day Microsoft announced XP64... That pissed me off so I'm not gonna bother even trying it - I'm not a monopoly piece
