Great to hear that you got it to work properly. I installed x64 last February on my new PC and checked first that there are drivers available for all hardware items I have. It installed quite fast after installing a floppy drive for the RAID driver. Unfortunately the driver cannot be located on a USB stick.

It didn't take long to install x64 though and I also saw some perormance improvments for x32 applications. One reason may be that x64 provides a virtual address space of 2 GByte for each 32bit application. So no swapping is needed, when 2 applications run in parallel.

Finally I found two minor drawbacks. Nero6 doesn't work, but according to Ahead Nero will work from version 7 on. There is no DVD-RAM packet driver available formy system, but I can live with that.

I really like x64, even with the 32bit applications.
