Hello. I ordered these componants for my new rig today:
- AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice Core 64 bit 512k L2 Cache
- Asus A8N-E AMD Skt939 nForce 4 Ultra HT 1000FSB PCI-E SATA RAID Giga LAN +8ch.audio ATX
- 200 GB Western Digital Caviar SATA UDMA150 7200rpm 8MB cache
- Gainward GF 6600GT PP Ultra 1960PCX Golden Sample, 128MB DDR PCI-E DVI TV Out
I'm using some PC3200 RAM from this PC. Still, this is largely irrelevant.
What i want to know is what to do about drivers if i fancy running Windows Professional X64? I downloaded the evaluation copy from Microsoft yesterday in case i want to, but, i don't know where to find 64-bit drivers for all my hardware. ...Should i just run normal XP Professional? On that matter, can i do that, as, it's installed on this computer currently? Is the licence per computer, or per person...Because, i don't really have enough money to buy another copy of Windows!!! Has anyone else run X64?
I've noticed loads of you have socket 939 motherboards and 64-bit processors...What do you all do to take advantage of the capabilities.
