Preacher February 24, 2005 Share Preacher Member February 24, 2005 I just finished the 2 week download of windows xp (on 56k lol) and I am going to give it a try. I was just wondering who here has tried the w2k3sp1_1289_usa_x64fre_pro.iso. If you have given it a go let me know what kind of bugs, problems or issues large or small you have found. I don't plan on doing the install till next week but I wanted as much info as possible when I did. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Bean February 25, 2005 Share Mad Bean Member February 25, 2005 So you guys are running the 64-bit version of xp? How do I get ahold of it? Notice any problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid-Flux February 25, 2005 Share Acid-Flux Member February 25, 2005 windows provides it free off their website..it's still a beta, but it's worth installing it. and no problems as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless February 25, 2005 Share Clueless GC Alumni February 25, 2005 How does it work? Does it just upgrade your current windows xp, or is it stand alone? If it is standalone, did you do a dual boot set-up or just over write windows? I'm kinda worried about having trouble and having to reformat if I need to get rid of it.

Preacher February 25, 2005 Author Share Preacher Member February 25, 2005 I haven't installed it yet, but it is a stand alone set-up. I'm not sure what will occur by copying over the current windows deal so I'm waiting a little while to make sure I have all my drivers and stuff up to date and 64 bit drivers downloaded and ready to install. My main worry is a Bible program that is a nightmare to reinstall, other than that it's only a matter of updating junk and I plan to do my reinstall over at my brother's or sister's house so I can make use of thier broadband internet. If you can't reformat and lose everything never try to upgrade your OS because you just never know what can happen. I lost everything in an upgrade once because of a smudge on the cd. I keep an external HDD just for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid-Flux February 25, 2005 Share Acid-Flux Member February 25, 2005 I just did a dual boot. I had Linux installed on one HD, so I just formated it and installed it on that. If you have a HD like >50Gig, just partition 20 or so gig off and install it on that. that way you can install widows, few programs, and of course CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head February 25, 2005 Share Brillow_Head Member February 25, 2005 I downloaded XP64 a while ago but balked on installing it cause of driver availibility and lack on software support. Is there anything that XP64 wont run that I would miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacher February 26, 2005 Author Share Preacher Member February 26, 2005 That was pretty much my question too, I'm gonna give it a try as soon as I find all the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
