Windows XP 64 Beta

from Stardock Forums
Have this running on an Opteron System. Games responds faster and each turn moves faster and smoother.
At this point XP 64 is very stable.
Anyone else BETA Testing XP 64?


System: MSI K8T Master2
Dual Opteron 240
1 GIG PC3200 REG ECC DDR
SB Audigy 2
MAxtor 20 and 40 GIG EIDE
ASUS NVIDIA 5200 120 MB AGP

Nope but would like too... as soon as I can afford a 64bit processor. :)

We just built our first Opteron box today (nvidia sent a nforce3 motherboard, so we couldn't very well just let it sit there in the box).

Will be giving things a whirl in the coming weeks.

What mode are you running it in and did old save games from your 32 bit Windows work?

Glad to hear you are not having any problems.

Ive got the following system:

AMD Athlon 64 3200
128mb video 9600XT
Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP
1024Mb DDR SDRAM with 400MHZ, CL2,
Samsung 80Gig 8MB 7200RPM SATA HDD

I have ordered the 64 bit Windows CD from MS and it is in the mail.

Been two weeks now but I guess it may take a while to get to Aust, let alone Adelaide (:(

I will let you know how it goes, fingers crossed.

Have they added Adelaide onto the map yet Blueroach? They don't usually bother with villages on most maps ;-) Hehehe

I'm thinking of going 64Bit myself, but will wait a little while until it becomes more mainstream I think, mainly because I don't want to end up doing the same thing at home that I do at work, fault analysis :notsure:

Running in 64 BIT Mode, the 32 BIT Saved games worked.
However, have had a problem getting Altarian Prophesy to load. Will being trying again this weekend.

Took about 2-3 weeks to get my copy of the XP 64 Beta from Microsoft. Thought about downloading, but even my DSL Link would take a couple hours.

Also, running a second machine with an Athlon 64 3200+.
But have not tried the BETA on it yet.

BTW, do not problems with Object desktop on the
XP 64 System. Smooth as silk.
Make sure you grab 64 BIT drivers when you get a chance.

Going to see if Altarian P will load this evening.
