Has any one tried the 64bit versions?
I recently installed a second sata drive in my rig and installed vista 64 on it. Xp Pro 32bit on 1st drive. So far all works fine, when booting a screen comes up and asks which operating system to boot. One very strange thing is that vista assigns "C" to the drive without regard to xp or that it is a secondary drive. What I mean is I installed vista on a 150GB drive that was labeled D. Vista says it is C. Weird. I haven't, figured out how to access some of my folders on the xp drive without sharing them, but I am sure that there is a way.
One gripe about 64bit.....not a lot of software yet for it. Most run in legacy mode (32bit).
It is a lot faster at a few tasks, will be a great way to go in the future when all software is available in 64bit. I am really surprised that with the popularity of pc gaming that there isn't more! Really improves speed.
Thanks
