    Default Windows Xp 64-bit

    First to let everyone know if you want windows 64-bit go to microsoft.com they will let you download it and they send you a seiral number.

    I just upgraded to a giga-byte GA-K8NS mobo with Athlon 64 2800+.
    i downloaded xp 64-bit from microsoft, I had problems finding drivers for the ethernet and sound, so I went back to xp pro. If anyone know where to get them or has any help all will be thanked

    so far they dont have a lot of drivers for xp 64bit. a friend of mine has a 64 bit and installed the win, but didnt find any drivers either. he said it was really fast but without drivers he couldnt play games and do anything more serious on the machine. what a shame....

    ethernet and sound drivers should be available from giga-byte, the win xp ones "should" work just fine. Or simply give it a bit more time.

    well first that was the wrong driver set, but I did find it on the nvidia website, I am up and running on my desktop running xp 64 seems to be fine. I saw somewhere that there is 64 bit release of firefox but cant find it. If anyone has it or knows where to get it it will be great thanks everyone

    all is working fine except my webcam no big deal i dont use it anyways, there is no onboard video, my old video card was too old of a agp to use so i'm using a 2 mb pci card for now, onboard sound is running fine no problems so far. Now i have a problem with the network, from my laptop i can access the 64 bit windows machine fine and can see all the shared folders, but on the 64 bit machine i can't even see the laptop, thrying to figure that one out than i can ghost the dirve for safty reasons, BTW microsoft pulled the 64-bit download from there site on friday sorry guys, looks like they are getting ready for the official release soon.

    ps here is the link for the correct drivers

    asus seems to have decent 64bit driver support for their SLi mobos, tho I have steered clear of XP 64 because people have posted performance and drops and extended driver performance issues. I am just going to wait until Longhorn matures, then build a new system with the latest tech.
